Her son Robert Clive Forrest, 1st batt County of London Regiment (London Scottish). Reported missing 1st November 1914 at Messines Flanders and presumed killed in action that day. Aged 18 years. 

Additional notes: 

The Forrest family lived at New Court Marlow. Nesta, daughter of Robert and Lucy, would be the future Mrs Forbes Liston who gave so many things to the town directly or through hefty donations including New Court house* and garden, and Liston Hall. 

Mrs Forrest was in herself a generous benefactor to countless Marlow charities and institutions. Her bequests included £450 after taxes to the Marlow Cottage Hospital. 

The grave is listing/sinking. The one next to it is that of Flight Lieutenant William Wain, Nesta's first husband who was killed on service in Berlin in 1920.
