Pte. John Greenway

British Army 3rd Btn. Worcestershire Regiment

from:Brierley Hill, Staffs

(d.7th Nov 1914)

John Greenway was my Great Uncle by marriage. I don't, unfortunately know much about him, except that he was married to my Great Aunt Laura Willetts for less than a year before he was killed in action. His name is included on the war memorial which is situated in Quarry Bank Park. He is buried in Cabaret Rouge British Cemetery, Souchez, France. I know nothing else about his death.

He left behind a little girl, also called Laura or 'Little Laura', who sadly died at the age of 5 in 1919, possibly due to the Spanish flu epidemic. I do have a photograph of John's little daughter, but unfortunately, not one of John himself. I have discovered this information in my quest to trace my family history and would love to contact any relatives of John Greenway. I just wonder if any of his friends or family have ever visited his grave in France.
