More about John Whyte

John has no known grave but is remembered on the Menin Gate Memorial. This man would appear to have two separate entries on the original Dundee Roll of Honour, one under the name of John White 2058 and this entry. There is no John White 2058 listed on either C.W.G.C. or S.D.G.W.
