Pte. William Wilson

British Army 8th (Service) Battalion Seaforth Highlanders

from:Buckhaven, Fife

(d.14th Oct 1918)

William Wilson was 21 when he died and was buried at St Mary's ADS Cemetery in Haisnes near Lille. We know nothing of his movements or how he died but it is possible that he died on the first day of the Battle of Courtrai during the final advance and just under a month before Armistice Day. William's parents Mr and Mrs Alexander Wilson (to the best of our knowledge) never managed to visit their son's grave. We do not know if any other family relative to has been. This year (2011) I hope to visit on behalf of my family to pay our respects - a journey too long overdue. William does however have an entry in the book of remembrance at Edinburgh Castle.
