He was educated at St. Matthew's School, Buckley, Hawarden County School and Owens College, Manchester, and prior to joining the Army was a professor at the Edinburgh University. He was 23 years of age, and son of Mr. W.H. Harris, for many years stationmaster at Old Buckley, but now in charge of the Wrexham G.C. Station.

LIEUT. AUBREY HARRIS, BUCKLEY (KILLED)

Mr. William Harris, master of the Central Station, Wrexham, and formerly of Buckley, has received a letter giving details of the death of his son, Lieut. Aubrey Harris, whose career was related in the last issue of the Pioneer. Lieut. J.H. Miller writes:- "My very best pal, your son, Aubrey, was killed by a shell on the evening of September 4th. We had gone forward together to find Capt. Cunliffe and his company and to discover what the situation was like. I left them together, and returned to the brigade with the news we had gathered. He remained behind doing more than his duty in helping Capt. Cunliffe. Two hours later some of his men came back and reported to me that both he and Cunliffe had been killed instantaneously by the same shell. The news quite broke me. I pray that you may be able to take it."
