Pte. John Carr
British Army 26th Battalion Tyneside Irish Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Sherburn Durham
(d.10th April 1917)
John Carr was my great grandfathers brother, He died fighting on the 2nd day of Vimy Ridge and was taken to the 42nd Aubigny clearing station. He is buried in Aubigny Communal Cemetery in Aubigny-en-Artois. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. I have visited his grave in the Cemetery and was very moved, I do have a photograph taken in the Rue Du Moulin, Aubigny-en-Artois but unfortunately do not know for sure which is John Carr as the photo has been passed down. Such brave men.
