Further Information About PEARSON John

John Pearson lived at 20 Yardley Street, Stambermill, and was a member of the Stambermill chapel. He volunteered for the Worcesters in October 1914 at 17 and joined the 4th Battalion on Gallipoli in August 1915. Three battles at the village of Krithia had failed to drive the Turks back and the troops had to endure the difficulties of trench warfare in the ravines and gullies of the Gallipoli terrain. Private John Pearson was seriously wounded on the 29th August during the sporadic fighting and died on the 28th September. He was just 18 years of age.

John Pearson has no known grave, the photograph available shows his name on the Worcestershire Regiment Panel on Helles Memorial.
