Richard Henry (Harry) Culpin was the oldest son, and second of nine children, of Arthur Culpin & Frances (nee Heighton) and was born in Leicester in 1899. He was not related to me but is one of my "collected" Culpins. In 1901 the family was living in Wigston Magna, in Leicestershire, and moved to Kegworth, Derbyshire, by 1911.
He enlisted in the Leicestershire Regiment in the name of his brother Reginald, curiously, and was transferred at some point to the Durham Light Infantry. He was killed on 15 July 1918 and has no known grave. He is commemorated on the Tyne Cot Cemetery Memorial.
We will remember them.
