Andrew Harry's story

Served in 2nd Battalion  K.R.R.C. as Rfm.  31321.

Pte Earle died on 22 December after the war had ended and there is no record of him suffering from wounds received in action.  His death was therefore most likely through illness. It is possible that he was a victim of the influenza epidemic that was sweeping the Continent at that time.
