Pte. Ralph John Hoare
British Army 1st Btn. The Rifle Brigade
from:Chipping Norton
(d.31st October 1916)
Ralph Hoare was my father's cousin. He was born out of wedlock and, by the time he went to war, his mother had passed away. In his informal will he left everything he owned to his friend Mr Harry Lane Bedington, Oxfordshire, his next door neighbor. A sad end to a young man who had never really lived.
