1759 Sapper Charles Knapper of the 1/2nd North Midland Field Company, Royal Engineers, was killed in action on the 22nd May 1915. He was living in Stoke-on-Trent and enlisted at Smethwick, Staffordshire. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission incorrectly records his initial as E rather than C. He is buried in Packhorse Shrine Farm Cemetery in Belgium.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
