209397 Pte. John Penman R. Wilkinson British Army 1/8th Battalion Durham Light Infantry from:46 Hylton Terrace, Pelton, Durham (d.15th Mar 1916) I discovered John Penman R. Wilkinson, son of George and Jane Penman Wilkinson of 46 Hylton Terrace, Pelton, casualty of WW1 in France & Flanders on 15 March 1916, whilst carrying out family tree research. He was laid to rest in Railway Dugouts Burial Ground (Transport Farm) Zillebeke in Belgium), so far from home and so young. So far I have not located a memorial to John P R Wilkinson in Pelton, Durham. Aged 13, on 1911 census, still at school, who could have imagined that 5 years later he would be just a proud memory to his family. Rest in Peace, John Penman R Wilkinson, remembered with pride by your Scottish Penman relatives.
