Pte Arthur Robert Peat
British Army 2/6th Btn Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Midhurst, Sussex
(d.22nd Jul 1916)
Arthur Peat was my Grandmother's first cousin and they were very close, both being only children and living close by. Arthur's father - also Arthur - was a butcher in Midhurst and had a shop there.
Arthur Jnr. volunteered for service and was sent to France on the Western Front. I believe he saw action at Fromelles where he was wounded and subsequently died of his injuries on 22 July 1916.
He is buried at the Merlville Communal Cemetery in France.
