Pte. Cyril Higginbottom

British Army 6th Btn. Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

(d.16th Sep 1916)

We understand that like many others, Cyril Higginbottom gave a false date of birth in order to enlist. His older brother was serving with the KOYLI and managed to get Cyril transferred to the KOYLI from his original regiment, thinking he could keep an eye on his little brother. Unfortunately, Cyril was killed on 16th of September 1916.
