Hi,
I know your last post was a while ago, but I came across it while researching WW I soldiers buried in the cemetery very close to my home.
John William Barr, and Ellen, had 11 children. Their eldest was also called John William. He joined the army and was passed fit as a pilot in August 1917. In October he was promoted to second lieutenant; not bad for the son of a riveter from Wearside. On November 14th he died in a flying accident and was buried near my home. He was 18 years old.
I just thought that you may like to know.
