2nd Lt. Edmund John Hibbard
British Army 12th (The Rangers) Btn. London Regiment
(d.9th April 1917)
My great uncle Jack Hibbard died on 9th April 1917 leading attacks against Neuville-Vitasse just outside Arras. He led his men over the top three times and was wounded each time; the last one was fatal. He's buried in the London Cemetery at Neuville-Vitasse and I had the honour of lunching with him there in May 2014. The CWGC do a wondrous job maintaining these memorial cemeteries.
