Obituary posting from 'The Times'newspaper, London, England, page 10: October 16, 1916~
''Second Lieutenant Douglas Symons, London Regiment, who fell on Oct 1, was the elder son of Mr. and Mrs. G.R.R. Symons, of 16 Weymouth Avenue, Ealing, W. Before joining the Queens Westminster Rifles in September, 1914, he was for many years in the service of the 'Royal Mail Steam Packet Company.' He went to France in February, 1915, and for 10 months went through the fighting around Ypres, part of which time he served as a voluntary stretcher-bearer to his battalion, the 1-16th London Regiment. On January 6 last he was gazetted second lieutenant, London Regiment, and left again for the front on June 3. An accident at the base necessitated his spending a month in hospital and he went up the line the week before his death. He was killed at the head of his platoon."
