Pte. John James O'Hare

British Army 5th Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers

from:Newcastle upon Tyne

(d.25th May 1916)

My great uncle, John O'Hare, was killed on the 25th of May 1916 and is buried in La Laiterie Military Cemetery in Belgium. He died 5 weeks before my father was born. My father was named after his uncle. My grandfather was fighting alongside his brother-in-law when he died and he may well have been part of the burial team. There were 7 other men killed that day and they all lie side by side in this cemetery

Unfortunately, I have no photographs of my great uncle but have not given up hope of finding one. My plan is to visit his grave on the 25th May 2016 100 years on from when he fell.
