Pte. William Owen Garnett

British Army 1st Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment

from:Romford, Essex

(d.5th May 1915)

William Garnett was my grandfather's brother. My grandfather told my mother that he had died from gas poisoning and we eventually found out that this was on Hill 60 near Ypres, Belgium. This was the day when the British lost Hill 60, a significant position in Flanders, to the Germans after the gas attack. Bill was 19 years old.
