Henry George Samuel Robinson

A Private with the 25th Battalion, Henry died in 1921 at the age of 22. 

Henry was born at Lowestoft in 1899, a son of George Henry and Eliza Robinson. He was baptised at Saint Margaret's Church, Lowestoft, on 6 August 1899, and his family lived at 22 Mariners Street and this was still their home in 1901.

By 1917 Henry was living at 13 Salisbury Road, Lowestoft, with his uncle and aunt John and Alice Gross. 

Henry was working as a clerk when he joined the Army at Bury Saint Edmunds on 2 August 1917. He joined the Training Reserve and was posted to the 25th Battalion. He served until 10 October 1917 when he was discharged medically unfit.  

Henry had attended a medical board on 9 September 1917 and he was found to have pulmonary tuberculosis. They judged that this did not result from, nor was it aggravated by, his military service. They also concluded that his capacity for work was not diminished by his military service. He was not awarded a pension but did received a gratuity of £12-10. 

Henry returned to civilian life and in 1921 was living at 13 Salisbury Road and working as a stenciller for Messrs. C. and E. Morton Preserved Provision Manufacturers at their Belvedere Road premises on South Wharf.   

Henry died during the third quarter of 1921. 

Henry's uncle, John Gross, died in 1918 in the loss of the S.S. Sixty-Six.
