Sgt John Wilkinson
« on: Saturday 04 June 16 22:17 BST (UK) »
Hi
I wonder if anyone can add a bit of colour to the attached photo.
He was killed on the 1st day of the Somme battle and his grand daughter would love to take a copy to the church service on 30/6 for the brave local men who died on that day.
Many thanks
Frank

A quick colour from me before bedtime. Two background changes.


Thanks

And one from me.  I got really excited when I saw the name as that was my Great Grandfather's name, but alas no relation!
