Harry Grove came from Camberley and served initially as Colour Sergeant with the 6th Battalion, The Queen’s Regiment; the UK, World War I Service Medal and Award Rolls list his name amongst a number of Regimental deserters, his entry: ‘Deserted 7-6-16’ being crossed through in pencil. He was later raised C.Q.M.S. and awarded the Military Medal, most likely garnered during The Final Advance in Artois and the reaching of the Scheldt Canal.
