Pte. John Thomas Daniels
British Army 1st Bn. East Lancashire Reg
from:Stoke-on-Trent
(d.1st April 1917)
My Grandfather. John Daniels was a member of the Territorial Army before WW1. When the war started he enlisted in the North Staffordshire Regt, but later was transferred to East Lancashire Regt.
He was wounded at Flanders and died a POW on 1st April 1917. He is interred in the Cologne Southern Cemetery, Germany.
We recently paid our respects by visiting where his marker is. It was an emotional experience to visit the cemetery and see the graves of so many young men who fought on both sides of the conflict.
