2nd Lt. John Haddon Attenborough
British Army 8th Btn. Norfolk Regiment
from:High View Gardens, Upminster, Essex
(d.1st Jul 1916)
My Mother in Law mentioned to me one night about six years ago, whilst I was discussing Family History in WW1 that she believed that she had an Uncle that was killed in WW1, she was not sure where but did know his name, John Haddon Attenborough. So off to the Commonwealth War Graves Casualty Details we went, and we found him, she did cry bless her. I am so pleased I was able to do this for her as she died two years ago at the age of 92 years young and knew where his memorial was, and when he died and where.
John Attenborough served with the Norfolk Regiment 8th Battalion and died on 1st July 1916.
