32555 Pte Henry Frank Allworthy, 7th Bn, East Surrey Regt

32555 Private Henry Frank Allworthy of the 7th Battalion, East Surrey Regiment was one of 65 British Army officers and men to die on the 13th February 1918. He was from Leyton in London and he died of wounds in the UK. He is buried in Chingford Mount Cemetery.

Soldiers Died in The Great War spells his name Alworthey but this is incorrect. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission notes that he was 21 years old and the son of Henry Alfred and Edith Allworthy of 552 Lea Bridge Road, Leyton.

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