He was born at Crow Trees Farm, Whitechapel, Lancashire on 23rd December 1893. His service numbers are 36010 and 57178. He was assigned to the Horse Transport ASC part of the West Yorkshire Regiment. I have found pieces of his service record which states he went to Egypt, the Mediterranean and France. I have a copy of a letter from my Great Granddad mentioning Jack being in the Dardanelles and a couple of pictures of him in uniform, one on his own and another with a small group at Catterick Camp. Jack was 20 years and 10 months old when he enlisted. He was 5ft 7" tall, weighed 130lbs (9st 4lb)had a fresh complexion, brown eyes, light brown hair, was C of E and was found fit for service in the Army Service Corps Horse Transport Division.

I have a letter from the War Office informing my great grandmother that his body has not been found but if they find it they will contact her with the details.
