Add my storyBiography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon
He was 26 and the son of William and Margaret Ann Burn of Whitby, husband of Gertrude Burn [nee Booth]-they married in Whitby in 1916-of 23 Silver Street, Whitby, Yorkshire.
He is remembered on the Aislaby War Memorial which stands outside the parish church in Moor Lane, Aislaby, Scarborough, North Yorkshire. It takes the form of a wheeled cross of stone with shaft surmounting a tapering plinth, with a sword and a shield, engraved with "1914-1918", on the shaft; the plinth lists the names and inscription in incised lettering; the whole stands on a three-stepped round stone base.
