·He was a cockney from Bow in Londond's East end.

·In his absence his wife Lizzie held the fort, raising their children.

·He died aged 31 during the latter stages of the Third Battle of Ypres generally.

·Early in December Lizzie received another form stating that the army had been 'regretfully constrained to conclude' that he was dead.

·We know that Lizzie married again, to a friend of Jack's who also served in the 2/4th Battalion and who was badly wounded.

·Still dearest don't worry, you have a 20,000 to 1 chance and God will watch over you as he has been with me ever since I've been out here.

·Jack also gave a revealing and sensitive description of the importance of friendship in the trenches: 'Out here dear we're all pals, what one hasn't got the other has, we try to share each others troubles get each other out of danger. You wouldn't believe the Humanity between men... It's a lovely thing is friendship out here.'
