(John Thomas Barker was born in Hutton Buscel, and in the 1911 Census was living with his grandmother - a sub-postmistress in the village. It is possible that he was younger than his stated age, - enlisting on 9 October 1914 with a stated age of 17 years 0 months.
His Service Record exists, and from this it is seen that although he was PRESUMED dead on 14 September 1916 his actual date of death was 9 October 1916. His death was reported by the German military, as he had died in Kriegs Laz. 2 on that date.)
