Elizabeth Price Add to this record. 207460 2nd Lt John William Wellesley Sutton MC. attd. 28th Bde RFA. Royal Garrison Artillery (d.29th Jun 1917) I have researched two large candle holders in our local church both of which have memorial plaques on their bases. These candle holders were given to our church when the navy moved out of Portland, Dorset and closed the naval chapel. I could not understand why the two men on the memorial plaques did not appear on the village memorial tablet in the church. Upon researching the two men I found their fathers were high ranking officers in the Royal Navy who must have had the plaques made in memory of their lost sons. John William Wellesley Sutton was killed at the battle of Vimy Ridge on the 29th June 1917 where he was killed by poison gas. The other memorial plaque is to another 2nd Lieutenant, John James Fraser Shand R.G.A 185th Heavy Battery killed at the battle of Salonika on the 6th August 1917 at the age of 19.
