L/Cpl. John Livingstone Forsyth

British Army 66th Field Company Royal Engineers

from:Enfield

(d.1st Sep 1915)

Sadly Lance Corporal John Forsyth was killed in action on the 1st September 1915. I know very few details about him apart from the fact that he was with the 66th Field Company, Royal Engineers and was attached to the 10th Irish Division at Gallipoli. He had landed in Egypt on 14th July 1915. His body was lost and he is commemorated on the Helles Memorial on Gallipoli.

He had been educated Wimbledon College and was only 21 when he died. He was the son of Adelaide Livingstone Forsyth of Clandon, Chase Green Avenue, Enfield, Middlesex. His father was the late William Robert Forsyth. He was born in Holloway, Middlesex and enlisted in Manchester.
