Pte. Jeffrey May
British Army 22nd. Battalion Durham Light Infantry

(d.28th May 1918)
He was my grandmother's cousin.
Jeffrey was born in 1899 and was killed in action in 1918. It appears that he was bought up by his grandparents, John and Julia (nÃ©e Drake). There is some question about the identity of Jeffrey's father, but he was probably john and Julia's son, Lancelot May. Jeffrey's British Army records indicate that he was a slight lad. He enlisted in September 1917 and was killed in France on 28 May 1918. He served with the 22nd Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry. His name is listed on the Soissons Memorial by CWGC. If there are further details about this young soldier, please let me know . . . Lest we forget . . . Thank you.
