46209 Pte James Mitton, 13th Bn, York & Lancs

I was a day ahead of myself yesterday, consequently here's what I should have written:

46209 Private James Mitton of the 13th Battalion, York & Lancaster Regiment, was killed in action on the 28th June 1918. He was born in Burnley and had formerly served with the West Yorkshire Regiment (number 41906).

James was 20 years old when he died. He was the son of Mr M Mitton of 2 Rectory Road, Burnley and is commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium.

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