Private 6184, 1st Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment. Died 28th December 1918. Aged 33. Born St. Peter's, Lincoln, enlisted Lincoln. Son of the late John Frederick and Louise Harston; husband of Kathleen Harston, of 6, Alma Rd. Avenue, Clifton, Bristol. Buried in HAMBURG CEMETERY, Hamburg, Germany. Plot II. Row E. Grave 4.

Note: During the First World War, Hamburg Cemetery was used for the burial of over 300 Allied servicemen who died as prisoners of war. In 1923, it was decided that the graves of Commonwealth servicemen who had died all over Germany should be brought together into four permanent cemeteries. Hamburg was one of those chosen, and burials were brought into the cemetery from 120 burial grounds in Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg, Oldenburg, Hanover, Saxony, Brunswick and Westphalia. The majority died as prisoners, but a few were sailors whose bodies were washed ashore on the Frisian Islands. There are now 708 First World War servicemen buried or commemorated in the Commonwealth plot at Hamburg. This total includes special memorials to three casualties buried in Parchim Prisoners of War Cemetery whose graves could not be found, and 25 unidentified sailors whose remains were recovered from HM Submarine E24, which was sunk by a mine off Heligoland in March 1916, when the vessel was raised in July 1974.

Note: The village of Reninghelst was occupied by Commonwealth forces from the autumn of 1914 to the end of the war and was sufficiently far from the front line to provide a suitable station for field ambulances. The churchyard and the extension were used from March to November 1915, when the New Military Cemetery was opened. The CHURCHYARD contains three First World War burials, one of them commemorated by special memorial as the grave cannot now be identified. The EXTENSION contains 56 First World War burials and two from the Second World War.
