10980 Pte John Finan, 1st Bn, King's Own (Royal Lancaster Regt)

10980 Private John Finan of the 1st Battalion, King's Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment), was killed in action on the 15th September 1914. He was born in St Anne's, Lancashire and enlisted at Ashton-under-Lyne in late July or early August 1913. He'd therefore only be a regular soldier for just over a year when Britain went to war. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission adds no additional information other than that he is commemorated on the La Ferte sous Jouarre Memorial in France.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
