L/Cpl. Wainer Kirton
British Army 10th Btn. Essex Regiment
from:Ruskington, Lincolnshire
(d.22nd Oct 1916)
Wainer Kirton and his brother Charles enlisted in the 2/4th Lincolns together in October 1914. Charles stayed in the Lincolns but Wainer transferred to the 10th Essex Regiment. Charles survived the war but sadly Wainer did not and died on 22nd of October 1916. His name has been passed down first to Donald Wainer the son of Charles and then to to his son Paul Wainer. Also, Paul's elder brother Michael gave the names of Charles and Wainer to his son. So Wainer is always remembered within the family.
