Summary

[edit]
Description

3 Battalion (attached 2 Battalion), Royal Sussex Regiment

Second Lieutenant Barthorp, the only son of an Essex family, was educated at Winchester School and Trinity College, Cambridge.

He was a keen huntsman, becoming Master of Eastern Counties Otter Hounds in 1914.

He enlisted on the outbreak of war in 1914, receiving his commission in August.

On 11 January 1915, Lt Barthrop was posted to the same sector of the Western Front as Robert Graves (author of Goodbye to All That) but was killed in action, aged 22, within days of arriving in the front line.

On 29 January 1915, his battalion came under heavy attack at the Brickfields, Cuinchy and a German sniper shot Lt Barthrop through the head, killing him instantly.

Lt Barthorp is buried at Cuinchy Communal Cemetery (Q2164804), near Béthune.
