Pte William Ernest Nicholas Hugman
British Army 6th Btn East Lancashire Regiment
from:Cressing, Essex
(d.18th Apr 1917)
All I know is that this young man, William Hugman lived in Braintree in Essex. He left his wife and a baby girl Muriel.
Editor's Note:- His record card shows him as having been born at Cirencester, but living in Cressing, Essex. However, he enlisted at Accrington, Lancashire.
William was killed in action in Mesopotamia and is commemorated on the Basra Memorial. On the 17-18th April 1917, his Division were engaged in action at Shatt-El-Adhaim, a tributary of the Tigris River.
