Title: John Thomas diaper
Post by: Ascott5787 on Saturday 05 August 17 10:37 BST (UK)

Looking to find any photograph of private John Thomas Diaper died 30/10/17 at passendaele.  He worked for the coke and gas company in London but unable to get any further with that.  Joined the London regiment....his children went into the work house and had no pictures or items from him so trying to find something to keep his memory alive.  Can anyone help?
