233960 Sgt. John Thomas Johnson British Army 8th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders from:Swallownest, Rotherham (d.22nd Aug 1917) Jack Johnson was my great uncle, brother to my grandmother on my fathers side. He was born in June 1898 and believed to have joined the Seaforths as a fifteen year old, as recalled by my Gran. He was killed on 22nd of August 1917 aged 18/19 and is buried at Tyne Cot Cemetery. His body was identified by tag and was found at grid ref D26.a.30.40. I believe these figures refer to a British army trench map, and if anyone reads this and can shed light on the figures I would be obliged.
