[Chestnut]

I just joined this community. This is one of the threads I noted before I joined. I'm not sure whether my great uncle William Farrington is in your file. He had moved to America with his mother, stepfather, and a brother in 1909. In early 1916 he went to Canada and joined the army (pictured beside a chair). On 19 August 1916 he died in a training accident and is buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery. The cemetery website has two clippings from local Accrington newspapers which say that his brother Jeremiah Farrington who still lived in Accrington had been notified of his death. Jeremiah was a member of the Lancashire Constabulary from 1911 to 1916 (pictured in front of the stone monument).
