224014 Cpl. William Herbert Earle British Army 12th Btn. Gloucestershire Regiment from:College Rd., Northleach, Gloucestershire (d.8th May 1917) William Herbert Earle was my great-uncle on my father's side. He was only 22 when he was shot in Arras, France. I decided to look into his service records which I have achieved to bring him closer to our lives. When growing up my father had a very hard time talking about the story of how he died. All we knew was he joined the Gloucestershire Regiment then he was shot (not long after he enlisted) on the 8th of May 1917. I was given a gold locket from my grandmother with his photo encased in it and now I have some documentation to go with it. I also found his Arras memorial obituary, and although it's not a lot I now have a story to put with his photo. After WW2 my parents moved to Canada where I was born and war stories were kept limited - gone long ago but never forgotten Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
