World War One / Re: Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
« on: Monday 14 November 11 23:45 GMT (UK) »
hi
i'm trying to find information on my grandad john steven hutchinson bn 1895 in hindley,wigan and died 1968 in shrewsbury.
i have contacted the resources library in wigan who say that there is a column in the wigan observer dated 15/9/17 stating that a john hutchinson from hindley wigan was injured but returned to active service.
it states his regimental number was 240206 and he was a lance corporal in the loyal north lancashire regiment.
i am guessing this is my grandad.
my mum doesn't know much about his involvement in ww1 but apparently he was in france and was injured twice by gas.
there are no records held by my family.
after the war he ran his own window cleaning business in hindley and later moved to blackpool.
he later moved to crewe then shrewsbury working for the sentinel works-a rolls royce based company producing wagons/trains or similar.
many thanks for any assistance
