Harold Marsh was my great-uncle (my grandmother's younger brother).

Harold was born in Pudsey in 1899, the fifth child and third son of George and Mary Marsh. He joined the 2nd Reserve Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (Gunner 32477), but caught pneumonia while in training at Strensall Camp, York, and died at home on May 16, 1915,aged 16 ('in his 17th year')

My grandfather, John Robinson, also from Pudsey, joined the Machine Gun Corps later in 1915, leaving my grandmother at home with a baby daughter (my auntie Florence), just months after losing her brother.

John won the Military Medal in 1918 and survived the war.
