Biography
The Parish Magazine of June 1917 records John as being a Sapper in the Royal Engineers, joining up sometime after August 1915 and before March 2nd 1916.
Parish and census records provide no further information and, given that Jack Lawrence (above) was sometimes known as John, it would seem quite likely that they are one and the same man.
