206064 Pte. John George McRoy British Army 21st Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps from:13, Wayman St., Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. (d.17th Jun 1917) John George was my uncle [my fathers brother]. He was the son of James and Rosehanna and lived in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. He is buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Belguim which we have visited many times. My grandmother had 4 sons, 3 of them were at war and only one came home. Johns brother James was killed on August 27th 1917, 3 months after after John. He does not have a resting place as his body has never been found but his name is on the plaque at Tyne Cot Cemetery. We will always be grateful to them for giving their lives as they did.
