Because it's a query about him!
Little info on Google. He was involved in the battle for the village of Ayette on March 27th 1918 when the Pals (2nd Lt Horsfall) won their only VC.
He died in 1989 with a bullet still in his chest from the battle.
Bill Turner interviewed him about the battle, for the Observer, in 1986.
