225679 Pte. John Ivor Herring British Army 14th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment from:Birmingham (d.3rd Sep 1916) John Herring married my great aunt Kate Jennings, just a few months before he was killed in the assault on Guillemont. Born in Atherstone, Warwickshire in 1892, the son of a doctor, he worked as a bank clerk before joining the 14th Battalion, the 1st Birmingham Pals. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial, alongside those thousands like him who simply disappeared. Unlike so many war widows, Kate's story had a happier ending. She married again and raised a family before dying at a good age, but the scar never faded.
