Arthur Brennand
"X" Coy. 11th Bn. East Lancashire Regiment
7th January 1918, aged 22.
Plot II. F. 8.
Son of John and Martha Brennand, of Burnley.
His headstone bears the inscription; "Our Dear Son And Brother He Was Precious To Us. All Sweet Memories."
Colonel W. D. Lowe wrote the following to Arthur's parents;
"He was killed by a shell in the front line yesterday (7th January), about one o'clock in the afternoon, he had, of course only joined the battalion recently. His memory will be cherished by all his comrades."
Lieutenant J. A. Forzie also wrote;
"Perhaps it will be some small comfort to know that he was taken away without pain or suffering his death being absolutely instantaneous. At the time the fatal shell came across, he was asleep in his dug-out, and there is little doubt that death resulted from concussion. As I have only had command of the platoon a few days, it has not been my privilege to get to know your son. He died as any good soldier would wish to die and having laid down his life in defence of home and loved ones, he has made the supreme sacrifice."
