 Irthlingborough 7859 Bedfordshire Reg 13th Nov 1914    
WESSIN  A Although this man's name is recorded on both the Town War Memorial in Finedon Road and the Memorial in St. Peter's Church the death of
no such soldier can be found among the comprehensive records of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.  Neither is there a record
of any name with a similar spelling.        
YORK  J .E. In spite of extensive research,  we have been unable to positively identify this man.  We believe that he may possibly have been John Edward
York who was born in Raunds in 1891.  He was the son of Isabella and the step-son of James Meekins of Jubilee Street. Irthlingborough.
Rose Evelyn Meekins, his step-sister, would have been four years his junior.  
As we cannot accurately identify him, it would be irresponsible of us to suggest his possible Service Number, Regiment or date of death.
