Circumstances of Death
|
Jonathan is listed as being killed in action on 3 Nov 1918 during the first Battle of Ypres. It appears from a letter written to the Red Cross seeking his whereabouts that he was original reported as missing in action. Unfortunately the 1st Battalion War Diary for the period 26 Oct to Nov 15th 1914 was either lost, never completed or destroyed and at the moment we have no real details of the events that led to his death and we await delivery of a book recently ordered about the 1st Northampton's. |
