Arthur Thomas Gregory

Arthur was engaged to marry Anna Nolan but died in 1918 in the War in France. Ten years later Anna married his oldest brother William who had been left a widower with three children when his wife died from asthma-induced pnuemonia. His youngest child - my mother - was four when they married and Anna became my dearly loved Nana.
Some new information from his granddaughter Laura confirming Arthur as a 16th Lancer. Both he and his young brother George (I will post his picture soon) were killed within a month of each other. The following is the card sent to their parents:

Gone from us but not forgotten
Never shall their memory fade
Fell while fighting for their country
Now they lie in soldiers graves.
In loving memory of
Sergeant Arthur Thomas Gregory
No 246910, 123rd Batt. R.F.A.
Late 16th Lancers
Who died of wounds in France
May 1st 1918

Although it includes George's information I'll include that when I post his picture.
May 1st was Anna Nolan's (Arthur's fiancee's) birthday.
Arthur was my great - uncle.
