Pte. John William Johnson

British Army 11th (Hull Pals) Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment

from:Hull, East Yorkshire

(d.5th Sep 1918)

John Johnson was reported missing 12th April 1918. It would appear that he was one of several who were captured during a retreat. He was taken a prisoner of war but died from wounds received from bombs dropped from planes on 5th September 1918. His wife contested this report saying that the Germans had shot him whilst a prisoner. He was initially buried at La Miterie German Cemetry, Lomme but was later reburied in 1919 at the New Irish Cemetry, Ieper, Belgium.
