Further Information

CWGC record ...
 
John Frederick Turner, a prisoner at H.M.P. Parkhurst, was sentenced to 3 years Penal Servitude for Larceny, and died of pneumonia following influenza, aged 33.

He had previously been released on licence for Army service, but deserted soon after, committing the offences which led to his imprisonment. He saw no active service, was awarded no medals, and did not qualify for the Memorial plaque and Scroll issued to next of kin on the death of service personnel during WW I.
