Note

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission's website tells us that Private J T Lovelock of the 17th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers died on 25 May 1916.

At the start of that day the Battalion was occupying trenches in the Aveluy Wood area, just to the north of Albert in France, although later in the day they were withdrawn to the Reserve in a small commune named Hédauville. There were German raids on the trenches on 23 and 24 May so it seems possible that JT was wounded on one of those days and died of the injuries he sustained.

For some reason he is apparently buried in a cemetery at Richebourg-L'Avoué which is some distance away.

Data on the Findmypast website indicates that John Thomas enlisted in Bradford, Yorkshire, having been born in Islington.
