STANLEY CHARLES HARRIS (1907-1908 : 25), Lance-Corporal, Queen’s Own Staffordshire Yeomanry, was the only son of Mr W S Harris of Sedgley Road, Wolverhampton.  From the school he entered the works of the Sunbeam Motor Car Company, and in 1911 he joined his county Yeomanry, with whom he trained in the annual camps.  Immediately on the declaration of war he was mobilised with his troop, and in September 1915, he went out to Egypt and thence to Palestine.  From this service he never returned, for, after 101 days of suffering, he died of enteric fever in hospital at Alexandra on September 11th 1918.  He was a fine-spirited boy and became a keen and efficient soldier.  Before the war he had gained a gold medal for shooting, and while on service he so distinguished himself in musketry as to be made an Instructor and sniper.  He also passed an examination in water testing.  As a sniper he was on one occasion, with only four companions, told off to act as a rear guard during the evacuation of wounded.  The Turks, confident in their numbers, came on, but the fire was too deadly for them, and the rear guard successfully covered the movement and effected its own retreat.  Cheery, active and conscientious, Harris was an exemplary son and a thorough soldier.
