3406 Private Guy Barclay Pollexfen of the 10th Battalion, King's (Liverpool) Regiment, was killed in action on the 26th January 1915. He was the son of Francis Harry and Elizabeth Pollexfen.
Guy's partial service record survives in WO 363 and so we can see that he joined the 10th King's at Liverpool on the 30th August 1914, giving his address as New Brighton, 3 Shrewsbury Road, Oxtow, Cheshire.
Guy arrived overseas on the 1st November 1914 and thus qualified for the 1914 Star as well as the British War and Victory medals. Some while after his death, in August 1916, a kit bag containing Guy's personal effects and his identity disc were received by - presumably - his brother, P E Pollexfen, who was then a captain serving with the Cheshire Regiment.
Guy Pollexfen is buried in Kemmel Chateau Military Cemetery in Belgium.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
