  • While researching the Boulton family, who are distant cousins, I came across Kenneth Henry Boulton 1894-1915. Kenneth was still only 20 when he was killed in action at Gallipoli in 1915. A life sadly cut short like so many during 1914-18. So many countries lost the best of their young men during that bloodbath.I dont think we have fully recovered.
    Rest in peace Kenneth - you may have no known grave but you are not forgotten.
