John Brown Horsfall

Family memorial stone in our churchyard

John Brown Horsfall M.G.G. was a 26 year old 2nd Lieutenant with the Machine Gun Corps when he was killed at Ypres on 25 July 1917.  He was the son of Tom Brown and Elizabeth Jane Horsfall of 12 Elson Road Formby.  His body was either not recovered or not identified, and he is remembered on the Menin Gate memorial at Ypres (modern Ieper).   See http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1614944

John's name does not appear on the war memorial in church, but we have found him mentioned on a memorial stone in our churchyard. We don't know why his name was omitted from the war memorial. If you are able to give us any more information, please contact us.
