1613 Pte Lorimer Headley, 1/9th Highland Light Infantry
Arrived overseas: 5 November 1914. Connection: 1914 Star trio and Princess Mary tin. Sadly, Lorimer Headley ticks two of my collecting themes: men who arived overseas in 1914, and men who have a connection to July 1916. Lorimer arrived overseas on the 5th November 1914 and he was killed in action at Delville Wood on the Somme on the 15th July 1916. Later, this obituary was published in De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour, also enabling us to see a photo of the man. He was just 20-years-old when he was killed in action. RIP.
