2nd Lt. Reginald John Burton
British Army 8th Btn. Worcestershire Regiment
from:Lutton, Oundle, Northants
(d.15th April 1918)
Reginald Burton was posted as wounded/missing on 14th April 1918 during, I believe, the Battle of Bailleuil (probably at or near Neuve Eglise/Nieuwkerke on the French/Belgian border). He died of abdominal wounds, aged 25, the following day as a PoW in a German field-hospital near Kortrijk/Courtrai, Belgium. Reginald is buried in Kortrijk/Coutrai (St.Jan/St.Jean) Communal Cemetery, at the junction of Meensesteenweg and Zwingelaarsstraat.
