Pte. William Anthony Dewing

British Army 9th Battalion Norfolk Regiment

from:Great Walsingham, Norfolk

(d.15th Sept 1916)

William Dewing is buried at Guillemont Road Cemetery, Guillemont in France. He died 15th September 1916, along with 150 other Norfolk Regiment soldiers fighting at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette (a British-French offensive as part of the Battle of the Somme). This battle was the first time Britain has used tanks in warfare. It appears that many of the Norfolk Regiment deaths and injuries were sadly caused by tank fire. He is remembered on the War memorial in his home village of Great Walsingham, Norfolk.
