John Ridgway before he was sent to the front

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.

The original cross at John's grave.
