Notes
The Bristol Grammar School website provides his service and death details and this biographical information: 'Son of Albert Thornley Kinsey, Post Office engineer, and Annie Kinsey, of 51 Manor Park Road.
Kinsey was born on 26/01/1898, and attended the School from 1910-1916. He served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army, with the Somerset Light Infantry 7th Bn.. Kinsey sadly lost his life on 16/08/1917, as a result of the War.
Kinsey is buried in Sanctuary Wood Cemetery, Belgium, grave reference V. B. 17.
The school Chronicle (December 1917) wrote that he "left the School only last year as senior sergeant of the Corps, and captain of Holmes' House. He gained his colours in all games, and was specially valuable in the hockey team. After training in an O.C.B. at Oxford, he received a commission in the Somerset Light Infantry. His commanding officer writes that he was killed instantaneously by a bullet while gallantly leading his platoon in the capture of a village. 'He was a very promising young officer, and his loss is deeply mourned by us all.' His death at the age of 19 came as a great shock to the School, where almost everyone remembers him well."'
