2nd Lt Francis Claude Uzzell, 2/5th Bn, Royal Warwickshire Regt

Second Lieutenant Francis Claude Uzzell of the 2/5th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment, died of wounds on the 3rd February 1918. He was 21 years old, the son of George and Elizabeth Uzzell, of "Muilla," London Road, Cheltenham.

Francis had previously served as a private with the Middlesex Regiment before being commissioned in the Royal Warwickshires. His number suggest that he originally joined up in the autumn of 1916. He is buried in Ham British Cemetery in Muille Villette, France.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
