Ernest John Heath was killed in action on 8 December 1917, just two days after the action for which he was awarded the Military Medal for bravery.

In WW1, Boots put out flyers claiming that cologne (as in fragrance) was nothing to do with Cologne (the German city) meaning that it was not unpatriotic to buy it.
