Private Harry Carter, 1041. 4th Battalion Yorkshire
Regiment. Son of John and Jane Carter, of West Green, Stokesley. Died
at home 11 May 1917. Aged 25. "UNTIL THE DAY DAWNS" It is suspected that this headstone has been erected privately by the Carter family. Although it bears the Yorkshire Regiment badge, the headstone is quite different to official CWGC headstones for the Yorkshire Regiment. |
