His brother Ernest died two years later on the Western Front. Horace is buried in Baghdad (North Gate) War Cemetery, grave XXI.C.44, and the twins are remembered on Preston's war memorial. They are also remembered on the memorial at Great Easton, where Ernest was living after his marriage and the village their mother moved to after the war. Ernest's only son, Reginald, was killed in the Second World War when his Stirling bomber was shot down over Belgium and his name is also on the memorial.
