Stanley Henry John Moore

A Private with 7th Bn. Stanley died on 22nd of February 1918 at the age of 19. 

Stanley was born at Lowestoft on 19 August 1898, a son of Henry George and Jane Moore. He was baptised at Saint John's Church, Lowestoft, on 14 October 1898, and his family lived at 2 Ivy Terrace, Colville Road. From 10 July 1898 Stanley attended Kirkley School. In 1901 they lived at 7 Ivory Terrace, Colville Road, and later at 6 College Road, Kirkley.

Stanley enlisted in the Army at Dover. He joined The Buffs (East Kent Regiment) and was posted to the 1st Battalion, in France, before joining the 7th Battalion. 

German prisoner of war ledgers state that Stanley was wounded and captured at Ypres on 26 October 1917. However, from 14 to 31 October 1917 the Battalion were in rest areas. It is probable that he had actually been wounded, at Poelcapelle, between 10 and 13 October and was captured sometime thereafter. He had been shot in his left chest. By 21 December 1917 he was being held at Linburg. It is not clear where he was being held when he died from his wounds. 

He is buried at Hamburg Cemetery which was expanded after the First World War by the reburial of British prisoners of war from numerous other POW camps.
