L/Cpl John Layton

British Army 1st/5th Sherwood Foresters

from:19 Ashbourne Street, Shirebrook, Mansfield, Notts

(d.10th Jul 1943)

I've never seen our Jacky, he was poisoned by the Japs in 1943 and I was not born until 1945. My dad was his brother. I have been told by my older relations, those who are left, that he was a great dart thrower so I must take after him. It would be nice to visit his grave in Kanchanburi War Cemetery in Thailand one day.

He would have been my hero - God Bless. He died for our freedom. My darts go in for Jack Layton.
