Bill Hopper was born in Hauxley, Northumberland in Jan 1912. He enlisted in the Border Regiment at Workington 1st Jul 1940, from his Regimental number 3605239, the 2nd Batallion, as a driver.

He rarely, if ever, spoke of his time there, the few pieces of conversations remembered by his surviving family mention pack mules, Imphal, and the release of POW's from Changi. He also said that he one day he would like to go back and visit Rangoon. Unfortunately, this didn't happen, he died in 1964.
