Can anyone help with this one?

I now believe that this is John Owen

Private John Uwen
Service Number 3224
Died 13/11/1916
Gordon Highlanders
7th Bn.

The 1911 census shows John living with his mother Emma at 4 Dawson Street, Pendlebury. Private John Owen's war gratuity was given to his mother Emma.
