Pte. John Thomas Collins
British Army 6th Btn. Leicestershire Regiment
from:Birmingham
(d.13th Jul 1916)
My great uncle John Collins was killed in the Battle of the Somme.
He was survived by his twin brother Alfred who himself was wounded in the head in Galipoli.
Alf had a metal plate put into his skull and survived the surgery, but remained partially paralysed for the rest of his life in Birmingham.
