207249 L/Cpl. William Smithson British Army 2nd Btn. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders from:115, Stockport Rd, Cheadle, Cheshire. (d.18th Aug 1916) When William was 5, his parents John and Mary Jane Smithson split up. John took William from the Bramley area to Stockport near Manchester. Mary Jane had no choice in this matter as money was an issue. She practically lost touch with her son, and through family conversations, Mary Jane was not informed of her sons death, only John smithson. Her only memories were a photograph that was given to her years later by John's family. I have been researching William and his regiment. I have been fortunate to find his place of rest at Caterpillar Cemetery, Lonqueval.
