On #ArmisticeDay, remembering my gg-uncle Private John Henry Jones of Ince, Wigan, serving with the South Lancashire Regt, missing presumed killed at #Gallipoli on 9th August 1915. He was 20 and has no known grave.
Also my great uncle Hugh Ross Cree of Glasgow, a stoker on #HMSIllustrious during WWII, who died of his injuries following the ship's bombing at Malta. Buried at the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery at Haifa, Israel.
Never forgotten. x
