James Burton Lewis

You may have recently seen the Kingsley news article about James Burton Lewis, a WW1 soldier from Kingsley who is commemorated on the village war memorial. As part of our topic we have looked further into his life and were fortunate to hear from his great niece and nephew, Isobel Mercer and Michael Lewis.

Mrs Mercer very kindly took the time to visit Kingsley St John’s to talk to the children about James, known as Uncle Burt, and share the letters he wrote whilst stationed in France.
