John Herbert Ridgway lived at Daresbury Lodge and followed a military career. He fought in WW1 and was killed in action in the Battle of Scarpe on 23 April 1917. You can read his story here
We have been contacted recently by Will, who came across his uniform in a shop in San Diego, California. It’s a fascinating story and we will update it as more information becomes available. He is restoring the uniform and would be interested to know if there are any living relatives of John Ridgway. If so, please get in touch by emailing us at chair@ddhg.org.uk. Thank you!
