About Gnr. Harold Clarence de Ridder
Harold Clarence de Ridder was born in Liverpool, England, on 7 February 1892. His parents were Robert Potts de Ridder and Jane Ann de Ridder (née Tillock) who had married in South Shields on 25 February 1880.

During World War I he served with the New Zealand Field Artillery (Service No. WWI 2/489). He died of Influenza & Broncho Pneumonia during the 1918 Influenza Pandemic at the 18th General Hospital in Camiers, France, on 11 November 1918. 26-year-old Harold was buried in the Étaples Military Cemetery [XLIX.
