When war broke out, Bill Holman was too young to enlist so he lied about his age and signed up to the Dorset Regiment. He was sent to India and Iraq for the whole of WW1.
In WW2, being too old, he again lied about his age and volunteered. He became a radio operator in the Merchant Navy. He survived numerous Atlantic and three Russian convoys. He died in 1968.
