On 13 November 1916, Lieutenant The Honourable Vere Sidney Tudor Harmsworth, aged 21, gave his life on the first day of the Battle of Ancre. He was serving with the 63rd (Royal Naval Division) on the frontline in France. A century later, Royal Navy personnel have remembered those that died in the Royal Naval Divisions by recording a poem written by AP Herbert. The poet recalls the losses his batallion suffered during the attack on Beaucourt, and references Lt Harmsworth.
