Bombardier Howarth Blakey
L/396 77th Royal Field Artillery
Died of Wounds 1st September 1917
Lived at 18 Raglan Road

He was actually cremated at Burnley Crematorium on 12th March 1960 (and got married (in Burnley) in 1924)

He does appear in Soldiers Died in the Great War, but nowhere else - wonder if he ever knew?
