Pte. John Schneider

British Army 1st/4th Btn. York and Lancaster Regiment

from:Swinton, Yorkshire

(d.9th Oct 1917)

My Great Uncle Private John Schneider was killed during the attack on the 9th October 1917 at Battle of Poelcappelle. His memorial is on panel 125-128 Tyne Cot Memorial.

I believe he had previously been injured and spent some time in a hospital. Whilst there he knitted a belt which has been handed down to me. It has knitted on it his initials J.S, the initials Y & L for his regiment and the regimental badge, the union jack flag, a flag which is red with a small union jack in the top left corner, and the initials S P H which I believe to be the initials of the hospital. All my efforts to trace the hospital have failed, can anyone please assist?
