Sgt. John Watson

British Army 8th Btn. Yorkshire Regiment

from:Jarrow

(d.10th Dec 1917)

John Watson, Sergeant 20343, enlisted at South Shields in February 1915 and served in the 8th Battalion Yorkshire Regiment. He died age 20 on the 10th December 1917 and is remembered at Jarrow Library and is buried in Mont Huon Military Cemetery, Le Treport. His medal card shows the award of the 1915 Star, War and Victory Medals.

John was born in Jarrow 1897, son of Mary and the late Charles Watson of Jarrow. In the 1891 census Charles(28) and Mary(21) living at 12 Frederick Street Jarrow, seem to be the most likely family but unable to find in any later census returns as Charles may already have died by 1901.
