Pte. John Willie Barlow

British Army 6th Btn. Yorks and Lancs Rgt.

from:Rotherham

(d.20th October 1918)

I did not know my grandfather John Willie Barlow. My father remembered being in his mother's arms as they said their farewells at the railway station. It is sad that so many fine men went to their deaths in this 'War to end all Wars'.

I would love to have known him, all I now have is a picture of him in a bathing costume. It is equally sad that so many men died of wounds so late in the conflict.

In this day and age, all I can say in the current parlance, is 'Respect', for without your sacrifice, the world would be a different place today.
