219263 Pte. William White British Army 10th Battalion Cheshire Regiment from:Tarporley (d.25th Aug 1916) I started my family history research last year and soon discovered my maternal grandfather Thomas White, was one of 10 siblings. He was the eldest having been born in 1881. William, his younger brother was born on 27th April 1889 and attended Tarporley Central school, which I remember as the C of E school. He lived in Tarporley at his parent's home at 117 High Street - now demolished. He joined up in Chester and was soon sent to France where he served with the 10th Battalion Cheshire Regiment. I am currently researching his earlier service but thanks to a Cousin, Jenny, we have found his date and place of death as almost certainly in the battle of High Wood on 25th August 1916. He is buried at Blighty Valley Cemetery, Authuille Wood near Amiens in a marked grave. I intend to visit this as soon as possible. Up until last December I was totally unaware of William's existence let alone the sacrifice he had made.
