Humphrey, H C
HARRY/HENRY CECIL HUMPHREY
Remembered with honour Faubourg d’Amiens Cemetery: Plot II, Row H, Grave 23.
He enlisted in Bedford; was entitled to the Victory and British War medals, and was killed in action. Unfortunately, Harry’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing.
Son of George Leopold and Isabella Matilda (nee PRITCHARD) HUMPHREY of Sarratt, Herts.
His parents married 27 December 1886 at St James the Great, Friern Barnet, Herts. Isabella died 1924 in the Barnet district aged 65, and was buried 27 December at Holy Cross, Sarratt; George died 1933 in the Watford district aged 77, and was buried 14 March at Holy Cross.
Harry was born 1894 in New Southgate, Middx [not Common Wood, Herts], and resided in Watford.
On the 1901 Census, aged 6 he lived in Chipperfield, Herts, with his parents and one sibling. On the 1911 Census, he is proving elusive.
