Pte. John William Worboys
British Army Queens Royal Surrey Regiment
from:36 Victoria Rd, Northampton.
John Warboys suffered severe head injuries during the battle at Ambrines near Arras. Initially left for dead, when the dead were being moved they heard his voice & cry out in pain. He was discharged on the 31st of May 1917 as a result of the injuries. John had a silver skull plate, at times he would go upstairs to the top of their house so his seven children did not hear him crying out in pain. He never recovered from his injuries, resulting in very hard times for his wife & 7 children. He died on the 7th June 1927. His wife fought for many years to receive a pension as a result of his injuries and to get his name recorded on the War Memorial. Which was added some years later.
