221979 Pte. John Roberts British Army 8th Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers from:Ferns, Co Wexford (d.31st July 1916) John Roberts is my great uncle, my grandmother always had a drawer with his medals which she kept really safe, as children we would get a sneak of them every now and then. I don't know an awful lot about him other than he died at 16 years of age in the Battle of the Somme and is buried in Vermelles British Cemetery in France. He died on the 31st July 1916 and one day I hope to visit his grave. He was so young to serve in the army and too young to die. I have no photos of him and the medals over the years have been mislaid when my grandmother died which was such a shame.
