Pte. John Baxter
British Army 9th Btn. York and Lancaster Regiment
from:Atherstone, Warwickshire
(d.9th Jun 1917)
John Baxter was the great great uncle of my partner and we only found out recently that he had died during WW1. After digging deeper we found some information including a photograph of John in uniform from the archives of a local paper.
John is buried at Perth (China Wall) Cemetery, near Ypres. We recently visited his resting place and Sanctuary Wood, Hill 62 and Ypres. We attended the last post at the Menin Gate and found our visit to be one of remembrance for John and for so many others who lost their lives in this 20th century tragedy.
