Pte. John Whyte Willocks

British Army A Coy. 12th Btn. Highland Light Infantry

from:Crosshill, Glasgow

(d.9th Apr 1917)

My grandmother used to tell me stories of her younger brother, John Willocks who was killed on the opening day of the Battle of Arras in 1917. From my research, I have come to the conclusion that he may have died in Battery Valley, as a memoir by Cuddeford (And All for What) describes the unit being hit by direct shellfire from German batteries and the terrible wounds inflicted. My great-uncle has no known grave.
