Pte. John William Handley
British Army 1/7th Btn., A Coy. Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Sheffield
(d.15th Sep 1916)
John Handley was my great grandfather, who was born on 28th February 1893. He married Amy Hill in 1912. My grandad was only a tiny baby when John was killed in the war, so he never knew his dad. John served with A company, 1/7th Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers service Number 4491. He died on 15th September 1916 age 23. I am only just finding all this out for myself, so don't have any other information. He is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial.
