Pte 3187 Richard Horrocks
« on: December 14, 2019, 06:21:56 PM »
Pte Horrocks served in 5th Bttn and did not go overseas.  He enlisted 21/12/1914 and he was discharged with SWB and Pension for Sickness 21/12/1915.
Richard died from Nephritis and Pulmonary TB on 9/5/1920.  His widow, Elizabeth received a Pension. 1 Knowles St, Wigan.
I haven’t found any evidence of the cause of Sickness in service, or whether Richard’s cause of death was related to service.  The Service Record & Pension Record are needed.
died at his home 45 Stanley st,wigan
age 51
buried wigan cemetery.R.648
