CAPTAIN RICHARD MOLESWORTH DENNYS
LOYAL NORTH LANCASHIRE REGIMENT



CAPTAIN RICHARD MOLESWORTH DENNYS (F, 1898-1900)—son of E. A. Dennys Esq., of Coleherne Court, S.W.—was born on December 17th, 1884, and entered Mr. Hawkins' House from Mr. Halcombe's school at Bexley. On leaving Winchester he took up the study of medicine, and qualified at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in 1909. At the outbreak of war he was in Florence working with Mr. Gordon Craig at his school for the improvement of the art of the theatre. He immediately returned to England to volunteer for the R.A.M.C., and on being informed that there was no further demand at that time for doctors, he joined the 10th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. He was mortally wounded early in the Battle of the Somme and died twelve days later, on July 24th, 1916, in a hospital at Rouen. A small selection of his poems, some of them written in early boyhood, has been published under the title of There is no Death.
