L/38031 Gnr Sidney J Maulkin, RFA

L/38031 Gunner Sidney John Maulkin of B Battery, 186th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, died of wounds on the 17th July 1916. His birth was registered at Greenwich in the June quarter of 1898 which means that he would barely have been 18 years old when he died. He was living in New Cross, South-East London, and enlisted at Rotherhithe. He is buried in Bethune Town Cemetery.

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