Rfmn. Robert John Ayres
British Army 4th Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps
(d.16th Nov 1918)
I have recently discovered that my great grandfather, Robert Ayres served his country and sadly passed away aged 36, in the Wharncliffe hospital, Sheffield. It appears that he died from the effects of gas, at the end of WW1 and is buried at Wadsley churchyard in Sheffield. Quite tragic to survive the fighting but then to die after the war ended.
I also discovered that he is on the war memorial at the church, so a couple of years ago I managed to have flowers placed there for Remembrance Sunday. I remember my late mother, his granddaughter, saying how sad it was when the family received the telegram with the tragic news. Bless them. I am glad I was able to find out more about him and do something in his memory.
