221132 Pte. Nathan Simon Baker British Army 2/7th Leeds Rifles West Yorkshire Regiment from:6 Hamilton Avenue, Leeds. (d.4th Sep 1917) This story is so very sad, but in a strange way happy: I never knew my uncle who died from wounds in France on 4th September 1917. He was my grandma's first born son. She came over to this country from a village called Kovno in Russia in 1890 age 16 to marry my grandfather in 1893. She had eight more children but two died. With my uncle dead in 1917, my grandma and grandfather were so distraught at this but she fell pregnant with my father who was born in April 1919 she hadn't wanted anymore children but this baby helped her and my grandfather carry on. In 1951 my father married and I was born. So out of sorry came happiness and I just wanted to share this story with you. I wish I had photos of my uncle but I never saw any.
