| Henry (Harry) Pinnells was born in Froyle, in 1885. He was the son of Silas and Emma Anne Maria (née Paris) Pinnells who, in the 1911 Census, were living in Husseys Lane, Lower Froyle, along with their family. Harry married Kate Edwards from the Godalming area in 1913 and the couple were living in Milford, Surrey, when Henry, known to everyone as Harry, enlisted at nearby Godalming. He joined the Buffs (East Kent) Regiment, 8th Battalion, as G/17646 Private Henry Pinnells. He died of wounds sustained in battle in France on 16th April 1917 - a second loss in just 16 months for the Pinnells family. From the date of his death it can be deduced that Harry was wounded during a diversionary battle at Arras which started on the 4th April 1917. The Battle of Arras ended on 16th May, with some 150,000 British Soldiers having been killed in that particular battle alone. Private Harry Pinnells was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. He is commemorated on the Arras Memorial in France, Bay 2. |
