207418 Pte. James McRoy British Army 6th Btn. Yorkshire Regiment from:13, Wayman St., Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. (d.27th Aug 1917) James was my uncle [my father's brother]. He was the son of James and Rosehanna and lived in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. My grandmother had 4 sons, 3 of them were at war and only one came home. James was killed on August 27th 1917. 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. His brother John was killed on 17th of June 1917 and is buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Belguim which we have visited many times. We will always be grateful to them for giving their lives as they did.
