Spr. John Wallace Burdett
British Army 81st Field Coy Royal Engineers
from:Willesden, London
John Wallace Burdett was my grandfather, who I never knew as he died in 1934. His army service began in April 1915 when he volunteered. I find it extraordinary that he did so at the age of 36 with five young children, including my father who was 10. He served with the Royal Engineers, 81st Field Company I know little about his service except that he was taken prisoner at Messines on 10th April 1918.
