Robert Robinson was born about 1886 at Holme on Spalding Moor, East Yorkshire and was my paternal great uncle. He had enlisted in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps in 1905 but in 1911, on his own request, he transfered to the Army Reserve before the expiration of army service. In August 1914 he was part of the British Expeditionary Force and as part of the 1st Division crossed to France between 11th and 15th August. Robert's sister was my grandmother Catherine (nee Robinson) Banyard and she named my father Robert when he was born on 28th August 1914. Robert Robinson died age 26 on 6th November 1914 in Belgium and has no known grave but is remembered at the Menin gate.
