22/1191 Sgt John Dugdale MM, 22nd Bn, Northumberland Fusiliers

22/1191 Sergeant John Dugdale MM of the 22nd Battalion (Tyneside Scottish) Northumberland Fusiliers, was killed in action on the 5th June 1916. He was born in Southwick, County Durham and enlisted at Sunderland between November 1914 and January 1915. There is a note on his medal index card that his widow, who had re-married, applied for a gratuity and a Distinguished Conduct Medal. Her name and address are given as Mrs M Richardson, 58 5th Street, Horden, County Durham.

John Dugdale has no known grave and is commemorated on the Arras Memorial.

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