Pte. John Scollen

British Army 27th (Tyneside Irish) Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers

from:Seaham, County Durham

(d.1st July 1916)

My grandfather, John Scollen, died on the first day of the Somme 1st July 1916, he has no known grave and is remembered at Thiepval. He did send a letter home dated 27th June 1916, this letter has been published in books. He left a wife and seven children behind, much like many others. Although I never met him I do feel a massive affinity to him. Rest in peace granddad for all of your family.
