About Rfn. Fritz William Honoré

Rifleman in NZRB, file number 42104. Son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Honore, of Tiritea, Palmerston North, New Zealand. He was killed 17 days before the war ended. He is buried about 75km from Tourcoing, where his ancestors had to escape. Cross Roads Cemetery was started in the first week of November, 1918, at the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance; and at the Armistice it contained the graves of 61 soldiers from the United Kingdom (now Row A and part of Row B, Plot I). It was then enlarged by the concentration of graves from the battlefields between the Escaut and the Sambre, and from certain other cemeteries; - with four exceptions, every man buried in it fell between the 1st of October, 1918 and the Armistice. Fritz William must be one of these.
