In Alnwick Cemetery is the Commonwealth War Grave with a private headstone of 80502 Gunner Joseph Lee, serving with the Royal Garrison Artillery who died 10/10/1918.

The headstone reads:
In loving memory of
Lc/Bdr Joseph Lee R.G.A.
beloved husband of Agnes Lee
who died at
Whitchurch Military Hospital
Oct. 10 1918 aged 30 years.

In Amble East Cemetery is a family headstone which reads:

Also in memory
of
their son
Gnr. Joseph Lee, R.G.A.
beloved husband of
Agnes Lee
who died at Whitchurch
Military Hospital Oct. 10, 1918
aged 20 years.
Interred at Alnwick Cemetery.

On both memorials his rank is given as "L/Cpl" but the Commonwealth War Grave entry gives "Gunner".

He lived at 27 Bridge Street, Alnwick.

Joseph Lee is remembered in Alnwick on A11.01, A11.09 A11.56 page 33

Is he the 'J. Lee' mentioned on several memorials in Amble?
