Geoffrey Henry Le Sueur Honey of Thundery Meadow - Lewisham, in London UK was born on October 4, 1890 at Sidcup in Kent County to Ernest Honey and Helen Le Sueur. Geoffrey Honey died at age 26 years old on October 21, 1916 in Thiepval, Somme County, Picardy France, and was buried at Thiepval Memorial Pier And Face 13 A And 13 B. in UK.
I found a picture of Geoffrey in my grandfather's photo album. It showed them together on 31 12 1915 in London. It prompted me to look into his details which I found in the South African War Graves Project. Someone here . says G didn't marry but what I saw suggested he married Ada Powell-Jones on 2 September 1916 at Surbiton
