John Wainwright is my great uncle who died, aged 22, on the Somme. John had joined up about 1911, he had followed his brother Thomas into the army. Thomas was a Grenadier Guard who was killed in Belgium in 1914 aged 29. John married Mary Ann Degnan in 1914 before being sent to France. He is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. Never forgotten.
