Description
A Memorial Plaque named to William Humble Lord, in bronze, full size, minimal wear, contained in the original cardboard casing, extremely fine condition.
Footnote: Private William Humble Lord (service no. 27/1009) served with “C” Company, 27th (4th Tyneside Irish) Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, during the First World War. Born in 1878 at Friarside, County Durham, the son of Lambert and Mary Ann Lord, he worked in the local collieries before enlisting at Burnopfield. His battalion, part of the 34th Division, took part in the opening assault of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, attacking German positions near La Boisselle. Like many of his comrades, Private Lord was killed in action that day during one of the bloodiest engagements in British military history. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing, Somme, France.
