Pte. Harold Herbert Murfin

British Army 2nd/6th Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment

from:Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire

(d.10th Jul 1917)

Harold Murfin was born in Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire to Edward, a Miner, and Martha Murfin. He had two brothers, Frederick and Edward and two sisters, Elizabeth and May. He was a sickly child, suffered with asthma. He didn't sign up straightaway because of his health, but received a white feather in an envelope posted to the family home. He then signed up. He died aged 19, in 1917 and is buried in the Rocquigny-Equancourt Poad British Cemetery, Manancourt, France. His family had the following quotation on his gravestone, "Christ will link the broken chain, Tighter when we meet again." But as far as I know they never visited the grave. His niece and I, (a great-niece) with our husbands have visited his grave to pay our respects.
