Our Family Heroes - World War One

I have always gone to the cenotaph in my home town on Rememberance Sunday and always laid two wooden crosses for my nan's two cousins - Frederick Uriah Cook Jones and his brother James Jones, both killed in WW2.
This year was somewhat more poignant for after finding my grandad's family - we discovered a name on the cenotaph, one John Peters of the East Lancashire regiment, who was killed in Basra in 1916 - he was my granddad's cousin.Casualty Details

I also discovered that one Harry Jones of the South Lancs Regiment, killed in France in 1917 was also a relation of mine. He is my great grandmothers, cousin.
Rememberance Sunday will be even more poignant now.
