2nd Lt John Osborne Atchison, 5th Bn, KOYLI

Second Lieutenant John Osborne Atchison of the 5th Battalion, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, was killed in action on the 13th July 1915. He was 30 years old, the son of Mrs J de L Werner (formerly C Atchison) of 36 Buckingham Gate, London, and the late James Osborne Atchison.

John Atchison arrived overseas in France on the 13th April 1915 and was killed exactly three months later. He is buried in Talana Farm Cemetery in Belgium.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
