Fus. John Hall

British Army 1/3rd Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers

from:Newcastle

(d.24th June 1916)

John Hall joined the Territorial Force in 1908 and served part time until enabled in 1914 discharged on 9th of June 1916 being unfit for service, and died on the 24th of June 1916. There was confusion as to his age, he was born 1874 so 43, medical records state both 43 (which we think is correct) and indicate 63. Death due to rheumatism sub acute and senility.

Question did he serve in France? The long term held view family folklore is he never returned home probably ran away with a French lass, I have always doubted this, any info would be greatly received, it has taken 102 years to disprove this.
