I seriously doubt that any board users will have a clue about this man, especially as your info is so minimal.

Where did you get the tiny bit of info you have posted?

When/ where was he born? When/where did he die?

Did he marry? Who were his parents?

Have you tried researching him yourself?

Yes I have researched him and have quite a lot of information but have reached a dead end. He was born in Newton Leeds in 1896 to a Sarah and Walter White. He died in the Great War on 17.12.1917 from serious wounds and is buried in Grevillers British Cemetery in Pas de Calais France. He was in the West Yorks Regiment which became the Prince of Wales Own. He is also named on the Leeds Roll of Honour 1914-1918.

Hope this additional information helps anybody out there to assist me in making contact.

Now you can research his siblings........find out if they married, and produced any offspring

Also, use GR's 'search all trees'.....................to check whether anyone else has an interest in these people

Are you related?
