E. Good
Leicestershire Regiment
19th January 1918 age 18
Son of the Rev. J.E. Good
Vicar of Long Horsley
Bill Riccalton has supplied the following:
Edgar Good, whose gravestone is in the churchyard, was the son of the Longhorsley vicar. He, it is said, died of natural causes, the flu, while in the Leicestershire Regiment's training battalion on the 19th January 1918 (indeed the influenza pandemic started in the January of that year). The data base of soldiers who died in the Great War Naval and Military Press Ltd have recorded that Edgar Good was born at Heaton Northumberland and both the death place and theatre of war was at Home. That is probably confirmed as his death certificate is recorded as Morpeth Vol 10b page 499.
