This is my great uncle, I remember my mother speaking about her uncle being killed in action after joining the 2/3 Machine Gunner battalion against the family's wishes. In the research that I have done, I can see that there is very little information about William (on line anyway.) I also recall my mother speaking about his Bible and personal effects being returned with blood on them. I hope to add more info as I make further enquiries with my cousins.
