131403 Second Lieutenant Stanley Victor Watton British Army 3rd/7th Btn. South Lancashire Regiment (d.27th Aug 1916) It started back in 2001 when i was on holiday with the ex wife and outlaws in france, when we stumbled upon a first world war cemetary at Etaples. we spent about 10 - 15 mins or so looking round, as i turned to walk back through the cemetary i caught sight of a grave stone with the name and rank of a Second Lieutenant Stanley Victor Watton, South Lancashire Regt, 27th Aug 1916. Since that day i have often wondered if 2nd Lt S.V. Watton was any kind of relation to myself/family. I know my grandad (dads dad) fought during the Great War but have been wondering for the last 7 years if Stanley was a lost member of the family?????. I know that his parents were called John and Clara, from Lancashire but thats it. Is there anybody out there who might be able to shed light on the matter as my family are in the dark. Thanks for any time and effort.
