Consett - Blackhill Cemetery World War I death

[Ian in Canada]

John Walton WHITE died in 1918 as a result of injuries received in World War I.  He is buried in "Consett Blackhill and Blackhill Old Cemetery".  I would love to have a photo of his memorial stone and any other info about him.  Any and all help would be much appreciated.  He was closely related to my WHITE grandfather, and his parents were Pattinson and Elizabeth WHITE.  Thanks.

just to note that Pattinson was married twice,,,,Elizabeth was his second wife,,who he married after John was born,,,,so it is likely that Johns mother is in fact Pattinsons first wife,,Caroline  Proud,,who he married in 1878 in Northumberland.
