The 1901 Census has the 3 year John living at The Street, Costessey. This is the household of his parents, Henry, aged 49 and a Bricklayer from Costessey, and Edith, aged 30 and a Tailoress from Norwich. Their other children are Arthur, aged 6, Henry, aged 15 and a Shoemakers apprentice, Stephen, aged 8, and William, aged under 1.
A history of the 48th Division, of which the 1st/8th Warwicks were part, includes the following battle honours for 1917.
Local operations around St. Julian. 19, 22, 27 Aug 1917

However, it would appear that the 143rd Brigade, which included the 1st/8ths, were the divisional reserve on this day, as only the 144th and 145th Brigades appear in these records of the action.
