Pte. Joseph A. Potts

British Army 20th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers

from:Monton

(d.11th Jan 1918)

Joseph Potts was my dad's uncle. He is buried at Minty Farm Cemetery. My parents visited his grave many years ago so he has always been remembered within our family. I've since learnt that he enlisted in the Eccles Bantams (for men under 5ft 3"). In a letter to his mum, from the army chaplain, it states that his company commander described him as being one of the pluckiest men in his Battalion.
