263226 Pte. John Thomas "Jock" Sweetland British Army 9th Btn. East Surrey Regiment from:Battersea (d.24th Mar 1918) Jock Sweetland was my Grandmother's brother. He had already run away from home and joined up in 1914 aged 15, but the family found him and took him home again. Two years later aged 17, he successfully joined up again and went away to fight. He died two years later on the 24th March 1918 in Operation Michael. He is buried in a small cemetery outside the village of Rosieres in the Somme region of France. My family passes his story down to each generation, and remembers him every year. There are no photographs of him that the family knows about.
