63530 Dvr Thomas M Burberry, RFA


British officers and men were still dying well after the Armistice had been signed, and on this day in 1918 - what is Remembrance Sunday in the UK today - 63530 Driver Thomas Mccarey Burberry of "X" 21st Trench Mortar Battery, Royal Field Artillery, was one of 167 men to die. He was from Guildford in Surrey and he is buried in the St Sever Cemetery Extension at Rouen.

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