Pte. Harold James Burnett
British Army 7th Btn. Somerset Light Infantry
from:Oakhampton Cottage, Wiveliscombe.
(d.31st Dec 1916)
All I know is that my mother was 13 years old when Jim Burnett, who was her eldest brother, died in Northampton General Hospital and is buried in the War Graves Commission plot in Towcester Road Cemetery, Northampton.
She often spoke of him, especially at Remembrance Time, but did not seem to know much about what caused his death.
He died on 31st of December 1916, aged 19.
