Add my storyBiography contributed by Ellen Lyne
From my recollection William Ewert Broom was a quiet man really even though he like to tell a joke and had a contagious laugh. As a child I remember him having a sadness about him and now I believe that sadness was because of the horrific things that he and everyone else who experienced war, kept to themselves. His family were Welsh, and his brothers and he were wonderful singers. His sisters lived down the road from my Aunt and his house in the same street. William Ewert Broom, better know as Bill to others, and Waggy to our family, was a kind man.
