I AM eager to contact any surviving relatives of John W Davitt who served in the 7th Battalion, King's Own Scottish Borderers and died in France in 1915.
He had a wife and child at the time. I think they lived in Poplar Street, Blackburn.
My son and I are arranging to travel to Loos, France, where we hope to visit his grave and that of his brother, Joseph.
