Pte. John Ridgway
British Army 16th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers
from:Harpurhey, Manchester
(d.24th Nov 1916)
John Ridgway was my uncle who, unfortunately, I never knew. I have his medals and death plaque, a leather purse containing gold charms and also his dog tags, these were collected by my grandfather who had to go to France to collect them. He died of wounds at the Somme and is buried at Puchevillers British Cemetery.
