207175 Qtr.Mstr.Sgt. Harry Vernon Cockbill British Army 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment from:Balham, London (d.10th April 1918) My Mum was adopted in 1933 by the Budgen family in Croydon, Surrey. We found her registry of birth as Margaret May Cockbill and with my mum's permission (she said we could look after her passing on as she was happy with her adopted family and had no wishes to look for her birth family). We found that her Grandfather Harry Vernon Cockbill died on April 10th 1918 from wounds. He's buried in Rue-Pettillion Military Cemetery, Fleurbaix, Pas de Calais, France. He was the son of Edwin and Mary Anne Cockbill of Oxford. Husband of Rosa Loiusa Cockbill of Clapham, London. He also served in Egypt 1895 and in India 1908. He was in the 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment which joined the 57th Brigade. He was in the German Offensive in Flanders from the 9th April 1918. He had 5 children Mary, Harry Reginald 1907, Alice Dorothy 1905, Rosa Helen and Rose Ellen 1904(twins) all were born in India. We won't ever forget him even though we never knew him.
