William was my great Uncle, he died 6th November 1917 of injuries sustained in France, aged 19 years. He died 40 years before I was born but I have attempted to keep his memory alive by planting a cross for him each Remembrance Day.

His family placed the following in the local newspaper at the time of his death,

When the golden sun is sinking and our mind from care set free, When of others we are thinking we shall be always thinking of thee.

Rest In Peace William.
