Further Information About HUGGARD Lewis Dudley Richard

Additional information on the memorial: Capt.

Lewis Huggard was born at Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, Ireland.  He attended Bromsgrove School from 1908 to 1913.  He enlisted in September 1914 in one of the Public Schools Battalions of the Royal Fusiliers and obtained a commission in the following January in the York and Lancaster Regiment.  In January 1916 he went to Egypt but returned after a few months.  In the autumn of the same year he was invalided home, rejoining in January 1917.  At the time of his death he was acting as intelligence officer and his Colonel spoke very warmly of his capacity as a soldier and his qualities as a man.  He was touring positions held by the battalion with his Lieutenant-Colonel Wauhore when he was hit by fragments from a bursting shell and died instantly.  His elder brother had been killed at Gallipoli in 1915.  Both boys played rugby for Barnsley.
