Pte. John Charles Crowder

British Army 9th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers

from:Macclesfield, Cheshire

(d.4th Sept 1917)

Charlie Crowder of Macclesfield was my great grandmother's brother. After the Battle of Langemarck during the 'down time' in Dirty Bucket Camp, he was one of the fourteen from the 9th Battalion who were killed in a German air raid in the early morning. He was buried among those 13 brothers at Gwalia War Cemetery in Belgium. Fortunately, I, someone with high respect for such a man, have possession of his victory medal from the war. It is a treasured possession of mine. RIP Charlie.
