2372 Pte Edgar Armitage, 4th Bn, KOYLI

2372 Private Edgar Armitage of the 4th Battalion King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry had been a soldier for less than a week when he died at home in England, probably as a result of sickness or accident. He was born in Huddersfield and enlisted at Wakefield. He is buried in St Paul's Churchyard, Hanging Heaton, Yorkshire.

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