Hi Sophie
thanks for that information, i have been on the cwgc site, William died on the 9th october 1917 and his name is on the Tyne Cot Memorial . I have also now got his medal card but it doesnt say anything else about him but every bit helps. We dont have any photos of him and i suppose i was hoping i might find a description of him somewhere in the records.
thank you so much for that information .
cheers Kathy.
