SIDNEY/SYDNEY HERBERT KNIGHT
Remembered with honour Dernancourt Communal Cemetery Extension: Plot III, Row E, Grave 10.
He enlisted in London, and was formerly Private 5570 15th (County of London) Battalion London Regiment (Civil Service Rifles). He was entitled to the Victory and British War medals, and died at 1/1 South Midland Casualty Clearing Station of wounds received in action. Unfortunately, Sidney’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing.

His parents married 1880 in the Islington, London, district. George died 1901 in the Edmonton, Middx, district aged 63; Caroline died 1919 in the Hackney, London, district aged 70.
Sidney was born 1893 in the Islington district, and resided in Haringay, Middx.
On the 1901 Census, aged 8 he lived in West Green, Middx, with his widowed mother and seven siblings. On the 1911 Census, an office boy with the Inland Revenue aged 17, he still lived in West Green, with his widowed mother and three siblings.
