Private John Parr (1898 in Finchley - August 21, 1914) was the first British soldier and the first soldier of the Commonwealth killed in World War I.
PRIVATE DUNCAN MCDONALD Camerons listed as missing[on medal index card] 13 August 1914 and is documented as killed in action 13 August 1914[CWGC and Soldiers died in the Great War] possibly died on boat to France,or actually went missing deliberately[he was 16 years old], killed by accident or the date is a mistake? The date is common throughout the reference data showing him killed in action 13 august 1914.
He is on the Memorial to the missing at LA FERTE-SOUS-JOUARRE Seine-et-Marne, France also showing him to have been killed in action 13 August 1914 aged 16
The 1901 census confirms he was indeed just 16.
Also I believe there was a Royal Flying Corps casualty before 21 August 1914
in October 1917 the first Americans were attacked by Grmans Private Hay is said to be the first to be killed he was a member of the 16th Division if I remember right
I have always heard the the first American service man killed in WWI was from Fort Worth Texas ... is this true?? no it is not true because that is a place in Texas. :P
