Pte. John Boyd
British Army 21st Btn. Manchester Regt.
from:Broughton, Salford
(d.4th October 1917)
Private John Boyd was my uncle and brother of my father, Private Herbert Boyd, also listed on this site.
My father was wounded during the first week of the Somme conflict and repatriated to England where he was hospitalized. On returning to France on 19 September 1917 he was posted to the 21st Battalion, the very same Battalion in which his brother John was serving when he was killed in action one month later on 4th October.
My father never ever spoke about his war service and never about his brother John. The information I now have I obtained only recently through research.
