Title: First Surrey Rifles 1914 - 1919

Description: P. 68 " But to a good many of us there remains one outstanding memory of Christmas Day, 1916 - the celebration of the Holy Communion which was led by our Padre ( familiarly but lovingly known as Little Plumptre) in a dugout near Battalion Headquarters in Strong Point 9, which was usually used as a drying room for gumboots." P.76 " ...our Padre, the Rev. B.P Plumptre was killed by a stray shell while visiting one of our companies in the line in front of White Château."

Additional: " ...our Padre, the Rev. B.P Plumptre" appears to math the name and Military details of the Reverend Basil Pemberton Plumptre.
