208502 Able.Sea. William Ernest Boulton Royal Naval Reserve Drake Battalion from:Stoke on Trent (d.25 Mar 1918) While researching my family tree, I came across a record for William Ernest Boulton, my 1st cousin, twice removed. It states that he was an Able Seaman with Drake Battalion, RN Division and that he died on the 25th March 1918 as a direct result of enemy action. It also states that he is buried about 300 metres from the north corner of Foureaux Wood, Martinpiny, France. I searched for him on the CWGC & the TWGPP sites and they say he is buried in the Arras Memorial Cemetery, Pas de Calais. He left a widow, Martha. Editors Note: The Arras Memorial lists the missing and those whose graves could not be identified at the end of the war.
