Pte. John Barnes
British Army 7th Btn. North Staffordshire Regiment
from:Cheadle, Staffordshire
John Barnes was my maternal grandfather. He fought with the North Staffordshire Regiment during WW1. He was in the Gallipoli campaign, being one of a handful of survivors in his regiment. He was shot by a Turk and sent to India to recuperate. At the end of WW1 he was sent to Russia to help the White Russians. Unfortunately I know nothing of what happened there. He did not return home until 1922.
