World War I
Mr Sydney Harris (1902-1906)
We have also recently discovered from a relative, another name missing from the Chapel WW1 Memorial – Sydney HARRIS (1902-06). He was born on 3 December 1889 in Ely and was killed on 26 September 1916. According to his attestation papers, he joined the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on 23 September 1914.
He was a sergeant in “B” Company, 8th Battalion, Canadian Infantry (Manitoba Regiment). He is remembered on the Vimy Memorial, Pas de Calais, France. Again it is unclear why his name is missing from the Memorial.
