Robert was Sarah's oldest son, born in 1889. Robert did not become a soldier - I don't know if he was unfit, or whether it was because he was now the head of the household (his father died in 1915), or because he was a farmer. He went to Lincoln, presumably with his brothers. He wrote

Robert survived the war, and died in 1954. He was my Grandfather.
