Pte. John Christie

British Army Mechanical Transport Army Service Corps

from:Newcastle upon Tyne

(d.28 Nov 1915)

John Christie was born in Darlington in 1881, one of twins who were the eldest of 8 sons. Four of those brothers were fatal casualties in WW1. I am trying to establish what actually happened to John, did he die from injuries received? He is listed as having died in Brough, a town in what was Westmorland - was there a military hospital there in 1915? The Commonwealth War Graves Commission website tells me he is buried in All Saints Cemetery in Newcastle. Can anyone shed any light please? If so, I would be delighted to hear from them.

Additional Information:

John Christie, b. Darlington 1881 twin to Joseph Christie, was my husband's John Christie's grandfather. He survived WWI and died in 1962. He was regarded as reprehensible by his family in that he deserted his wife and lived with another woman in Barnard Castle. He was the Collector of Taxes there Sue Christie
