John Parr is always quoted as the first British soldier to be killed in action at the start of what became known as the Great War. Private Parr was killed on 21st August 1914 while on patrol on the outskirts of Mons, Belgium. This gravestone is intriguing as the date on it is 8th August 1914. It is to Driver William Henry Bond of the Royal Field Artillery and is in Woolwich New Cemetery. Research showed that William died at home - 94 Kirkham Street, Plumstead SE18 These are his casualty details which are very limited https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/4014435/WILLIAM%20HENRY%20BOND/
