221499 Pte. John Meehan British Army 27th (Tyneside Irish) Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers from:Westerhope (d.27th April 1917) John Meehan was my great uncle, the only son of Patrick and Eliza Meehan (nee Stanley) of Stanley Cottages, Westerhope. He was my grandmother's brother and before his war experience he was a miner at North Walbottle Colliery. He was reported missing on 17th April 1917 and discharged dead (killed in action) on 27th April. I believe he is commemorated on the Memorial of the missing in the cemetery at Fauborg D'Amiens, so presume he was killed during the Arras offensive, but can't find any information on him, or any photographs.
