HE FOUGHT AND DIED
FOR BRITAIN
AND THE HONOUR OF HIS RACE

PRIVATE A ARMSTRONG

MANCHESTER REGIMENT

19TH AUGUST 1916 AGE 29

BURIED: CHOCQUES MILITARY CEMETERY, FRANCE


Private Armstrong's mother quoted from a popular piece of memorial verse:

He marched away so bravely
His head so proudly held
His footsteps never faltered
His courage never failed.
Then on the field of battle,
He calmly took his place.
He fought and died for Britain
And the honour of his race.
