Pte. Herbert Cathcart
British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Rifles
from:Belfast
(d.7th June 1917)
I am called after Herbert Cathcart and he was always held up as an example to me by my Grandmother (his sister). I have just come back after making a long promised pilgrimage to his grave in the Wulverghem-Lindenhoch Road Military Cemetery near Ieper in Belgium. Although he died 94 years ago, 30 years before I was born, I found it a very moving and tearful experience. I have lead a good, successful and enjoyable life, something he was unable to do, and I hope I have lived a life that he would have been proud to live.
