  1. Hello John,
    Pte (Rifleman) 39650 Thomas Knight was my Great Grandfather and is buried at Nine Elms British Cemetery, Poperinghe, Belgium.
    As far as I know he went to Monk Breton to be a miner. He had two sons, Mark and Keith (my Granddad). Keith Knight lived in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham and worked for the GPO.
    Regards,
    Keith Smith
