Pte. William Robert Burlingham

British Army 9th Btn. Norfolk Regiment

Will Burlingham was my Great Uncle. He was a Norfolk farm labourer. He was 25 when he joined up on 8th of September 1914. Will lost a leg on the Somme sometime after 9th of June 1916 and was back home in the UK by 4th of August 1916. We believe he was at Queen Marys Hospital, which fitted limbs to wounded soldiers. He did have a prosthetic leg and rode a fixed wheel bicycle. He married in 1922 but had no children. He worked as a Warriner and Forest Warden after the War.
