Pte. John Edward Quin

British Army 18th Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers

(d.15th Oct 1918)

John Edward Quin enlisted on the 16th October 1914 at Newcastle. He was 19 years old and a grocer by occupation. John joined the 18th Battalion (Tyneside Pioneers) the Northumberland Fusiliers and died on the 15th October 1918 - age 21. His medal card shows an entitlement to the British War and Victory Medals but does not show a qualifying date.

A further search of military records show that he served as a private in Home and France theatres. He was recommended for a commission and transferred from 14th Dec 1917 as a Cadet and eventually to No 2 Aerial Fighting School at Marske where he died in an aero training accident. I think by the date of his death he may be the 2/Lt J.E. Quin buried at Hebburn Cemetery and is commemorated at St Paul's Church.
