Pte. John William Hewitt

British Army 2nd Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment

from:Henley on Thames, Oxon

John Hewitt was my paternal grandfather. He was born on 10th of September 1891 in County Cork, Ireland. He was the son of a professional soldier posted to Ireland to maintain order. His father died in June 1900 in Blomfonteine, South Africa during the Boer War. As a result of this, John with his siblings and mother were brought back to England. I have no further information concerning his life before and during WW1. He returned to England and worked as a postman in Henley on Thames until his death in 1962.
