(d.9th Aug 1915)
My Great uncle John King was killed in action on the 9th of August 1915 at Hooge (Sanctuary) Wood near Ypres. This wood was the target of heavy shelling by the Germans before an attack by flame throwers on the date he died. It is believed he is buried in Hooge Wood in an unmarked grave.
He is commemorated on the Menin Gate, Ypres.
