S/15211 Rfm Edward G Hoare, 11th Bn, Rifle Brigade

Eight hundred and forty-eight British officers and men died on the 18th September 1916. S/15211 Rifleman Edward George Hoare of the 11th Battalion, The Rifle Brigade, was killed in action on this date. He was a south Londoner, born in Walworth, living in East Dulwich and enlisting at Camberwell, probably around the 7th or 8th February 1916, judging by his army number number. He was 25 years old, the son of Charles and Emily Hoare of 174 Dunstan's Road, East Dulwich, London.

Edward Hoare has no known grave and is commemorated on the vast and imposing Thiepval Memorial.

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