Edward James Harvey, who was born at Rondham, Norfolk in January 1885, was a bus driver by profession prior to enlisting in the Army Service Corps. Having arrived in France in February 1915, he died there of influenza on 23 November 1918 and was interred in the Busigny Communal Cemetery Extension. He left a widow and five children, one of whom, Edward, won an M.M. in Sicily with the Royal Engineers in the 1939-45 War, but was later killed in action; sold with assorted research and a copied portrait photograph.
