Names of the fallen in World War I on Strensham War Memorial. The name at the top is that of Charles Jervoise Dudley Smith who died aged 19 on 15 June 1915. He was the son of Gerald Dudley Smith and Lady Barbara Smith, of Strensham Court SO9039 : Strensham Court, Worcestershire (demolished in 1975). His grandfather was George Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry of nearby Croome Court.

Charles Jervoise Dudley Smith was a Second Lieutenant in Grenadier Guards,
1st Battalion. His name is listed on Le Touret Memorial in the Pas de Calais along with 13,400 other British soldiers with no known grave who were killed on the western front between October 1914 and the start of the Battle of Loos in September 1915.

Sadly there are three A Hart killed in WWI who were in the Worcestershire Regiment which means I cannot identify which one this is.
