WW1 war memorial Burton upon Trent

[dianne]

I was very interested to see that someone had posted a photo of the Burton upon Trent War Memorial.


Could someone please confirm the location of this memorial. Is it located at the Burton Town Hall?

Has anyone details of names on this memorial. I am trying to find out more information about my ancestor Arthur Albert Coulton. army No. 27349 7th bn. The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. He died aged 18. He is listed on the Thiepval War Memorial in France, but it would be nice to see his local war memorial. I could easily visit the Burton Town Hall if he was listed there.solaf
