Richard Tipping’s search for the military service records of his grandfather John William Warburton (1878-1950) resulted in three interesting photos sent to him by Phil Mather of the Fusilier Museum in Bury. They appeared in Issue 19 of The Button Files.
This picture shows John W Warburton’s name at the bottom of the first column of the Affetside Congregational Sunday School Roll of Honour. There is also a Harry Warburton who is listed as killed. Harry was John William’s distant cousin.
