Jack Hinchcliffe



Jack Hinchcliffe a Coldstream Guardsman was badly injured at Dunkirk during the 'BEF' evacuation and died in England. He was buried in Hemingbrough cemetery where his grave can seen today. His mother Fanny worked on the land at this time and later  for Mr. W. Chilvers but never spoke of her son's death.
After Mr. R. Chilvers published his first history book to raise funds for St Mary's Church Hemingbrough, Jacks sister Peggy approached Mr R. Chilvers with a request, would he publish another book and include her brother, Jack. Mr Chilvers published the second book and Peggy supplied the photos and the letter.
