John Jeffry Nicholls

Robert Vickery has just completed his research on the farmer's son, John Jeffry Nicholls, from Eastdon Farm, who was killed on 12th October, 1918.

Here's the link to his research on the Dawlish WW1 website 

It explains how our local farmer's boy came to be an ambulance driver on The Somme; in a Canadian regiment.

Here's the Dawlish WW1 project's photograph of the Cofton War Memorial which lists
 John J Nicholls of the Canadian Army Medical Corps
