Pte William Brown

British Army 10th Btn Durham Light Infantry

from: Newcastle upon Tyne

(d.26th Sept, 1915)

William Brown joined up in August, 1914. I think he may have thought it was going to be an adventure, as his records show repeatedly that he was punished for being drunk! He died 13 months after enlisting and in that short period he was punished several times for being drunk and once for being late back off leave. He left a wife and two sons, age 4 and 3. I don't suppose they thought it was much of an adventure.
