Photo Brian Chandler

In Newcastle upon Tyne (St.Andrew’s and Jesmond) Cemetery is a headstone, part of which has fallen and obscured the dedication.

What can be read from the photo is:

Charlotte Ann . . .
Died June 22nd 19….
Robert Lisle died 26th . . . .
also
Major R. Ernest B. Lisle . . . .
Killed in France 30th March . . . .

He is remembered in Newcastle on NUT061, NUT147 and NUT152, in Durham in the D.L.I. Book of Remembrance page 67 and in the D.L.I. Regimental History page 237

The headstone gives his rank as Major, but the CWGC says he was a Captain.
