Christopher I'Anson
British Army 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queens Bays)
from:Ripon, North Yorkshire
(d.19th June 1915)
Christopher I'Anson was my 1st cousin 3x removed, the son of Christopher I'Anson and Martha Heslop and was from Ripon.
He served in the 2nd Dragoon Guards, (Queens Bays), Household Cavalry and Cavalry of the Line. He joined in Harrogate and his service number was 6464. He was a Shoeing Smith.
Christopher died of wounds on 19th June 1915 and it appears that he died in this country as the record states 'Home', his place of residence at the time of death was Snelston so maybe he was in hosptial there. He is remembered in Nunhead All Saints Cemetery, South London, panel 3.
Maybe his body was taken back to Ripon for burial but as yet I haven't looked for him there.
I don't have a photograph of him and unfortunately haven't been able to find one.
