Biography
Philip Bent was born in 1891 and came of age as Europe moved inexorably toward war; he embraced his duty with the steady resolve of a young man from a proud British tradition, seeking to serve his comrades and his country.
He fell in 1917 amid the fierce engagements around the Ypres Salient, and his name now graces the Tyne Cot Memorial as a reminder of the sacrifice he made.
