156807 Pte. William Ernest Clifford British Army Royal Inniskillin Fusiliers from:Higham-on-the-hill, Warks William Clifford was my Grandfather. He joined up in 1916 and left for France on Christmas day that year. He then went to Salonika, fighting up on the Dorion front before being ordered to Egypt where he fought alongside General Alenby. From here he went to Taronto and up through Italy, joining units on the Somme. He was wounded once but returned home safe on August 30th 1918. I have his war notebook/diary and his identity documents and his demob papers. I have been trying to research his movements with limited success but I keep searching. He travelled on the ships "Royal George", "S.S.Malwa" and the "Derflinger" (Huntsgreen).
