De Ruvignys Roll of Honour
Watts, Herbert Edwin, Corporal, No. 10380, 5th (Service) Battalion The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, 4th son of Alfred Watts, Proprietor of Victoria Temperance Hotel, Stony Stratford, by his wife, Mary Dabner, of Burham, near Rochester; born Halling, co. Kent, 27 February 1896; educated Earls Colne Grammar School, co. Essex, where he was an enthusiastic worker for the Scout movement, and organized the 1st Halstead Troop of Boy Scouts, afterwards becoming Scout Master; was employed as a Clerk with Messrs. R. Hunt & Sons, Ltd., of Earls Colne; enlisted 17 August 1914, after the outbreak of war; served with the Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders from 22 May, 1915, being employed as a Signaller to his battalion, and was killed in action on 25 September, 1915, at the Battle of Loos, while laying the telegraphic communications. Burried a little north of Hooge, about half a mile from the Ypres-Roulers Railway.
A comrade wrote: "His loss is most keenly felt among us, espacially by the Signallers with whom he was extremely popular. Personally I feel it terribly, as he was one of my best friends, and we had been together since enlistment. He was a son to be proud of and a most unselfish friend," and a member of the Halstead Scouts: "He was the backbone of the troup, and keeping it together required great perseverance and a strong character, which poor Herbert had. He was a true Scout, and always tried to keep one of the Scout mottoes: 'A Scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances', and, what is more, Herbert succeeded. He did not forget the Scout law even in France."
