241523 Pvt. Richard Jackson Douglas British Army 7th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment from:Hull (d.18th September 1918) Richard Douglas was my great granddad. He was a lay preacher. He had four daughters but every time a son was born he died so he threw away his cross and his Bible and stopped preaching. A neighbouring family died and left a young boy orphaned so grandad took him in and brought him up as his own son. War broke out and the boy was called up for war grandad asked his wife what should I do, she said you best go with him and make sure he comes home. Well, they landed in France together as part of Kitchener's 2nd Army in France 1915 and grandad was killed on the 18th of September 1918 and the boy returned home safe.
