Remembering today the death of 681 Pte Isaac Shortman 2nd Bn Seaforth Highlanders. A pre-war Regular who came from Bath originally, he went overseas with the Seaforths on the 23rd of August 1914. His war was to last less than two months, being killed in action on the 13th October 1914 during the successful attack by the 10th Infantry Brigade, 4th Division, to recapture the village of Meteren from its German occupiers. He was only 24, the same age I am now. Not forgotten 95 years on.

R.I.P God Bless.
