LT COL HENRY COURTNEY BROCKLEHURST 10TH ROYAL HUSSARS AND PILOT IN THE ROYAL FLYING CORPS 1916-1918 GAME WARDEN OF THE SUDAN BORN AT SWYTHAMLEY MAY 27TH 1888 KILLED ON ACTIVE SERVICE IN BURMA ON COMMANDO JUNE 1942. Horses he loved and laughter, the sun and the open air/ The trust of all dumb living things he won, and never knew the luck too good to share./ His was the simple heart the open hand, and honest faults he never strove to hide./ Problems of life he could not understand, as a man would wish to die he died./ Now though he will not ride with us again, his merry spirit seems our comrade yet/ forbidding us to mourn, or yet forget./ Erected by his devoted brother 1949. Horses he loved and laughter, the sun, with spaces and the open air. The trust of all dumb living things he won and never knew the luck too good to share. His were the simple heart and open hand and honest faults he never strove to hide. Problems of life he could not understand but as a man would wish to die, he died. Now though he will not ride with us again, his merry spirit seems our comrade yet, Freed from the power of weariness and pain, forbidding us to mourn or to forget.... Erected by his devoted brother 1949
HENRY COURTNEY BROCKLEHURST
