206221 Private Luke Potts British Army 174 Tunn. Coy. RE Royal Engineers from:Kibblesworth, Co. Durham (d.31st Jul 1916) I am afraid that I do not know anything about Luke Potts. He was my father's older half brother. I would love to know more about him. Our family do not seem to have any photographs of him either and we would love to have one. In the family altogether there was 17 children as gran and grandpa had both been married before then when they married and they had a family together. He must have been highly regarded by he fellow friends in the village as they presented him with a bible inscribed:- 'Presented to Sapper Luke Potts 174 Coy. Royal Engineers by the workmen and inhabitants of Kibblesworth as a mark of appreciation of his self sacrificing duties to his country cause. 30th December 1915.' I have this bible and treasure it very much. He is burried at Auchonvillers Military Cemetary, France and my cousin has visited his grave on many occasions and finds it very moving every time he goes.
