Pte. John Haxton
British Army 6/7th Btn. Gordon Highlanders
from:Markinch, Fifeshire
(d.13th Oct 1918)
John Haxton's parents were John Haxton and Margaret Heggie of Markinch, Fifeshire, Scotland. John was my grandmother's brother, and was aged 35 when he died on 13th October 1918.
He was killed in action in France during WW1 and is buried in Avesnes-le-Sec Communal Cemetery.
I am still researching the details, eg where he was killed, whether he left a wife and family etc.
He was in 7th Battalion Gordon Highlanders, which amalgamated with 1/6th Battalion to form the 6/7th Battalion on 6th October 1918.
