248938 L/Cpl. John Henry Wilson British Army 50th Divsion Provost Coy. Military Police from:Hull (d.8th October 1944) John Wilson is my father's uncle. He was killed on Sunday the 8th of October 1944, whilst serving in the Military Police. He was 41yrs of age. The family story is that he was killed on Njimegen Bridge and had changed duties with another comrade, so that they could have the day off. I have never been able to verify the exact location of his death. He is buried in Mook War Cemetery, in the Netherlands and we have visited his grave twice. Previous to joining the Military Police he had served with the East Yorkshire Regiment and fought through North Africa and Italy. I have his six medals.
