(d.26th July 1917)
My Great Uncle Broughton Abbott landed at Gallipoli with the 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, he was wounded in the legs and eventually sent back to England for recuperation with the 3rd Battalion.
He later rejoined the 1st Battalion in France/Flanders where he was once again wounded very badly in the legs, after having one leg amputated he finally succumbed to his wounds and died in the hospital in Calais and is buried in the Calais cemetery.
