Sgt. William Walter Gibbs

British Army 2nd Battalion Essex Regiment

from:West Ham, London

(d.3rd May 1917)

My great Grandfather, Sarjeant William Walter Gibbs served with the 2nd Bt. Essex. I have little to tell at present as I am still researching. All I know is he died in WW1 in 1917. He was, from what my Nan used to tell me, shot in the head. He had 2 military awards but I have never seen them. I do not even know what he looked like. He was French born and lived in London. From what I read on here he fought in many battles before being killed in France in 1917.

I wish I could tell you more, I will not stop researching his life. If anyone can give me any details I'd be grateful.
