Capt. William David Stavert 7th Field Coy Royal Engineers

William David Stavert was my Grandfather. I do not know anything about his wartime experiences as I think the records may have been lost.

Editor's Note:- Captain Stavert was serving at the start of the war as he was part of the initial Expeditionary Force, arriving in France on 23rd August 1914.

    The free section of The Wartime Memories Project is run by volunteers.

    This website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

    If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
