Spr. John Kelly
British Army 170th Tunnelling Company Royal Engineers
from:10 Marsh Street, Parr, St Helens
(d.20th Feb 1944)
I have always known of my grand mother's brother who died on this day in this war. John Kelly was over 6 feet tall and had blonde hair and was known for knocking the gas mantle off each time he went his granny's home. It cost him each time to replace it. John was a quiet spoken handsome young man. That's how he is remembered.
