In 2014, I was researching soldiers in the 7th Battalion, Northamptonshire Regiment killed alongside my great grand uncle Randolph Angus. I found some soldiers and commemorated them but one soldier stood out and i had strange feeling when I seen his face. His name is John Henry Palmer. He was called Jack by his friends and family. He was a machine gunner. He wasn't recorded as killed until June 1917. He was last seen with severe head wounds while lying in a trench.
Before i commemorated him, i had a visitation from him in a dream. During the visitation, we were in my living room. He was sitting on the sofa and I was kneeling on the floor in front of him. He was wearing his helmet and so i telepathically asked him why he didn't take it off. I then said "oh your head injuries". He was looking at me while he was sitting down but did not say a word throughout the visitation.
I found myself in front of a public house except it was not a modern looking scene. I sensed it was around 1916. The pub had a sign to the left of it saying "The Three Horseshoes" with one horseshoe above the other two. The sign had a blue background. The pub was made from brown stone with an entrance at the left hand side. We went into the pub and there were three people in it (the barman who was wearing a black waistcoat and white shirt, a man wearing black and a blonde haired woman who was dressed in a long skirt, jacket and hat all in the colour navy). John was standing to the right hand side of me. She stared into my eyes with a look of studying me.
I then woke up.
I later found a pub by the same name in Ecton which is nine miles from Rushden where he lived. It is now painted white but when John was physically alive, the brown stone was exposed.
