Hall, A
ARTHUR HALL
Remembered with honour Hollybrook Memorial, Southampton.
He appears to have no medals, and died at sea when the SS Falaba was torpedoed by U-28 on her way from Liverpool to the West Coast of Africa. Unfortunately, Arthur’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing, also he does not appear to have an entry in Soldiers Died in the Great War.
There is an article about Arthur in the West Herts and Watford Observer dated 3 March 1915; and an article in the Watford Illustrated dated 1 April 1915.
