Pte. John Simeon "Akky" Atkinson

British Army 2/7th Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment

from:Woodhouse, Leeds

(d.19th March 1917 or 19th November 1917)

There is some discrepancy with the CWGC on date of John Simeon Atkinson's death as with his middle name as it is Simeon or Lineon. The Buslingthorpe Road Church Memorial at St. Michaels said John S. Atkinson 265907 which does bear in with all the facts from my aunt who is still alive to date(19/4/16).

His brother, Harry, survived the Great War but when questioned he simply said you don't want to know about that.

Their future brother-in-law, William Kirkley, is on the same memorial of St. Michaels which got demolished in the early 1960's, so the memorial was then placed in St.Marks Church Woodhouse, Leeds.
