223827 Pte. John Smith British Army 20th (Blackheath & Woolwich) Btn. London Regiment from:Twickenham (d.21st Aug 1917) When John Smith came home on leave, which I think was for just two days, his mother (my grandmother) told me that when John was about to go back to his regiment he said to her, `Do not expect to see me again'. She watched him walk down the road and round the bend out of sight. She did not see him again as he was killed on the 21st August 1917, which I think was most likely the Third battle of Ypres. He was 25 years old and I think this does highlight just what soldiers thought about their chance of survival. Very sad.
