221785 Pte. John Edmund West British Army 6th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers from:Colne (d.28th Nov 1917) My Great uncle John died from gun shot wounds on a hospital ship on its way to Malta on 28th of November 1917 He was a private in the Lancashire Fusiliers 11th Battalion. He is on the Loos memorial but they have his name wrong. They have him as John Edward West and not Edmund which is a long standing family name. I have his birth, marriage and death certificates but you cannot quite make his name out, but you can tell its not Edward. Edmund is a long standing family name going back to the 15th century. They will change it if I can provide definite proof. It would be nice to get his name put right seeing as he gave his life for his country.
