An article published in the Hastings & St Leonards Observer on 2nd September reads: \u201cOn August 6th Gunner Arthur Read, R.F.A. was killed in action after having been at the Front 14 months. He was 27 years of age, and leaves a widow and two children, who live at 20 Scriven’s Buildings, Hastings.<\/p>\n

The Captain of the Battalion in which deceased was serving, writing to the widow, says: ‘He was killed at 8:30am. His battery was being heavily shelled, and Gunner Read was, with other men of his detachment, in their dug out. A shell burst about five yards away, and a piece came in at the entrance of the dug out, and hit him on his left side, penetrating to the heart, death being instantaneous.<\/p>\n

He was buried in the evening in the English military cemetery, where the grave will be looked after and kept up. The body was covered with a Union Jack, and the Chaplain officiated. All the gunners of the battery were present, and the men of the deceased detachment acted as his bearers.<\/p>\n

He had made many friends, but quite apart from that his loss is a serious one, as he was a first class layer, and would have in time become a non-commissioned officer”.<\/p>\n

According to CWGC, Arthur is remembered at Ferme-Olivier Cemetery<\/a>, grave reference Plot 1, Row C, Grave 1.<\/p>\n
