John Alexander Pte. 29121. 2nd West Yorkshire Regt. No family information. Buried in St Sever Cemetery , Rouen. Google earth would show the cemetery.
There are no surviving military records for John, nor can I find a medal card for him. He is not shown in Soldiers Died in the Great war.
The only to find out where he died, is to contact the West Yorks Regimental Museum.
None of the other men you mention, of military age, living in Greater Accrington, are in my files.
Retlaw.
