John Tinkler, a native of Blaydon-on-Tyne, Northumberland, attested for the Rifle Brigade and was posted to the 20th Battalion. He served during the Great War in the East African theatre of War from 17 January to 18 March 1916, and then in German South West Africa for the rest of the War, returning home on 20 January 1919. As the 20th Battalion did not service in either of these theatres it must be assumed that Tinkler served attached to another unit. He was discharged on 8 March 1919.
