from:Hebburn
My 2x great grandfather John Diamond was born in Tennant Street, Hebburn on 4th March 1883 to an Irish father Andrew Diamond and local girl Sarah Diamond. At the age of 31, he joined the Tyneside Irish Battalion on 26th November 1914. He served as a Lance Corporal in the 26th Northumberland Fusiliers, 3rd Tyneside Irish. He survived the Battle of the Somme and didn't pass away until 4th May 1964 in his hometown of Hebburn, just streets away from where he was born, and is now buried in sadly an unmarked grave in Hebburn Cemetery.
