Other Information:

Samuel is commemorated on the Sutton in Craven war memorial as: 'Private S. Lund. R.A.M.C. Att. R.N.D., however, most people knew him as Harry - according to one of his relatives. The Keighley News reported on 2nd March 1918, that "Dispensary Clerk Harry Lund, R.A.M.C., son of Mr and Mrs Sam Lund, West Lane, Sutton and a grandson of the late Mr Thomas Berry, warp sizer, Ellers Mill, Sutton, was on board the Glenart Castle. In a letter, dated February 24th, to Mr Laurence Preston, The Ellers, Sutton-in-Craven, Mr Lund stated that he had been transferred to the hospital ship Glenart Castle and that they were sailing on Tuesday last. He enlisted early in the war, and since his mother's death five years ago he has resided in Huddersfield. He served his apprenticeship with Mr Robert Petty, Crosshills. His name does not appear in the list of survivors." Harry does not appear in any lists of casualties either, however, newspaper articles from the time reveal that, along with others, an unnamed member of the R..A.M.C. was picked up by the American destroyer 'Parker' and taken to Milford Haven, where Pembroke Dock is situated. The unknown man's death certificate reveals he died of heart failure at the Naval Hospital, Pembroke on the 27th February 1918 - the same day as Harry is reported to have died by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Also Harry's will confirms he died at the Royal Naval Hospital, Pembroke Dock. It is believed, therefore, that the unnamed member of the R.A.M.C. could be Harry.
