Pte. William A. Woodburn
British Army 18th Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Glasgow
(d.17th Oct 1918)
My paternal Great Uncle William Woodburn, whose details were discovered during a research of my family tree. He was born in Belfast and the family moved from Ireland to Glasgow before 1911. William died of his wounds aged 19 the month before war ended and is buried in Lijssenhoek cemetery, Belgium. He was the eldest of four children. Unfortunately I do not have any more information as contact with this branch of the family was lost in the 1940's. We are planning to visit the cemetery in October 2012.
