Pte. William Spence Smith

British Army 2nd Btn. Yorkshire Regiment

from:Normanby

(d.13th Jan 1916)

My mother's uncle Bill Smith was a merchant seaman before joining up in 1914 when he was in his late thirties. He was born in Middlesbrough and enlisted there, when home from sea he stayed with his brother's family in Normanby. He was killed on 13th of January 1916 when the Somme was a quiet sector. In the war diaries nothing of note happened that day. He is buried in the Carnoy Military Cemetery and his name is on the Normanby Village Memorial.
