244032 Pte. John Thomas Wilcox British Army 7th Battalion South Lancashire Regiment from:Tarporley, Cheshire (d.22nd July 1917) My great grandfather John Wilcox died near Ypres when my grandmother was a few months old. His body was never recovered so his name is inscribed on the Memorial at the Menin Gate. I will be visiting there to remember the great sacrifice our forefathers made for our freedom. My great grandmother was widowed with three daughters while her male cousin was widowed with children. They married out of necessity to keep the family together. All three daughters became nurses (to keep a roof over their heads) and my great aunt was the midwife at my birth. My grandmother never knew her father but he will always remain in our hearts in gratitude.
