Pte. John Coulson
British Army 2nd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Scunthorpe
(d.1st July 1916)
I know nothing about Great Uncle John only what I've found online. He was only 22 when he died. I've been trying to find out where the Regiment was on 1st July 1916. Having researched the day it seems it was the first day on the Somme. I, therefore, presume he was one of the many killed on that first day. He lived with his parents in Scunthorpe my great grandmother always wondered what had happened to him and kept a light burning in the window for many years.
