John William HORNSBY WW1 1921
« on: Tuesday 15 October 24 17:42 BST (UK) »
John William HORNSBY died on 19 March 1921 after serving with the Royal Field Artillery. He was the husband of Florence Alice Hornsby with an address at 14 Oakfield Terrace, Forest Hall, Northumberland.

John's death was attributable to his war service but sadly he was not formally recognized as a war casualty. If proof of burial can be established it is likely that his resting-place can be designated as a War Grave.

Can anyone tell me where John William Hornsby is buried?  I would be very grateful for any help.
