This day in history

In memory of Alfred Charles Curtis who died this day in 1916.

Alf was L/corp SPTS/1957 23rd (Sportmans) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. He was my g-aunt Isobel's fiance and she never looked at another man after Alf was killed during the battle of Delville Wood.

My g-aunt died in 1984.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
