Pte. John Dyer

British Army 1st Btn. East Lancashire Regiment

from:53 Earl Street, Blackburn, Lancs.

(d.18th Oct 1916)

The only story I have of my great uncle, John Dyer is that the family threw a huge party for him when he was home on leave. I presume this would be early 1916. He told his family that it would be a one way trip to the front and that he would perish along with his comrades. What courage to return to certain death and what must he have seen to be all too aware of his fate?
