Samuel Horton died whilst holding the Battalion's position on Montaigne de Bligny. His body was never found and his name appears on the Soissons Memorial.
Samuel was my great uncle. Unfortunately my mother never knew him as he was the eldest son of my great grandmother and great grandfather. My grandmother was the youngest child of a large family.
