14 Colchester Men Killed in Action

or died of their wounds during

The Last Ten Days of the War

1918

 

 Two men of the East Lancashire Regiment died on the same day and are buried in the same graveyard.

Two men were buried in Colchester Cemetery, so, presumably, they died of their wounds here.

Henry Thomas Millard, aged 18, died on the last day of the war.
