from:13, Resham St, Newcastle-on-Tyne
(d.14th Aug 1916)
Knott, Robert, Cecil. Captain, Killed in action on 14th August 1916. Aged 21 years.

Son of John Ellis Knott and Emma Jane Knott, of 13, Resham St, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
CWGC records show Captain Knott as in the 28th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers, however this is probably incorrect as the 19th Btn records show him as attached to the 20th Btn N.F.(Tyneside Scottish).
From the 19th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers Roll of Honour.
