Television (Full Length Episode) – 2017
He was troubled all his life. I guess none of us can prove that he definitely committed suicide all those years later because of it, but I believe he did. I believe he was so traumatised.– Mary Varnham, on World War One causing her father to commit suicide
Dad got a shell wound to his leg, November 14, during action at Le Quesnoy. Literally, seven days after he was so badly injured at Le Quesnoy, the war ended.– Mary Varnham, daughter of Harry Varnham
