239778 Pte. Jack Rushton British Army 2nd Battalion Cheshire Regiment from:Knutsford (d.8th May 1915) Jack Rushton was 18 years when he died, having joined up in March of the same year. He is my great uncle on my mother's side of the family. He was the second young member of our family as the following day the 9th May 1915 on my mother's side of the family they lost Thomas Drinkwater aged 17 years. He died at Aubers Ridge, with the Royal Irish Rifles. I still think of them although I never knew them. We must never forget what all these brave men did for us and perpetuate their remembrance. Thank you.
