Pte. Harry Ainsworth

British Army 18th Battalion Durham Light Infantry

from:42 Kitchener St., Gateshead

(d.12th April 1918)

Harry Ainsworth is my great uncle. He was born in Dewsbury in 1881 and moved to Gateshead with his wife Eleanor. He was a boot maker and repairer.

He and Eleanor had four children when he joined up with the 18th Durham Light Infantry in December 1915. I have not been able to find any record of service but have read the WW1 diary of the 18th DLI.

Harry died on 12th April 1918. He was killed in action close to Outtersteene and is commemorated on the War Memorial at Ploegsteert Memorial.
