The Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalions

Henry Bright.

From a local paper = 9/9/1916 A Double Bereavement
Private Henry Bright, of Fletton Avenue, has been killed in action in France. He leaves a young wife and little child who are at present residing at Filey in Yorkshire. Great sympathy is expressed with the deceased's mother who lives at 187 Fiction Avenue, for this makes the second son she has lost in France. The other son was Private LT. Bright who is missing after the Battle of Loos, and as every enquiry was made for him amongst prisoners of war in Germany without success, the War Office has presumed his death. He is remembered at the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing on the Somme in France. Note spelling from separate sources - Harry or Henry
