Promenade Posted 8 September , 2004 Share Posted 8 September , 2004 John Connor, a native of Liverpool, enlisted in Bootle in Dec 1915/Jan 1916 as No 41915 and was initially posted to 12 Bn Liverpool Regt (KLR). He was subsequently posted to 1/8 (KLR) and finally to 1/6 KLR (Liverpool Rifles). On 4/5 September 1918 he was wounded in action (gas) and admitted to 1/3 West Lancs Field Ambulance but was transferred immediately to 6 Casualty Clearing Station for treatment. He was to die of his wounds (gas) on 8 September 1918 at 54 General Hospital and now lies in Terlincthun British Cemetery Plot III Row C Grave 45. The War Diary for 1/6 KLR records that on 5 September 1918 the Bn was relieved from a stint in the trenches at Festubert and that the casualties were 1 other rank killed and 3 wounded. Unfortunately no personal information is known about Pte Connor. Promenade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
