2nd Lt A H P Errington, 2nd KOYLI

Second Lieutenant A H P Errington of the 2nd Battalion, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry was killed in action on the 30th November 1914. CWGC puts his death at "between 30/11/14 and 01/12/14" but Officers Died in The Great War narrows tis down to the 30th. He is referred to in both data sets by his initials only, and also on his medal index card which also notes, presumably incorrectly, that he was "reported wounded and missing 30/31-10-14 [and] since presumed dead." He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial.

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