223115 Pte. William Thomas Board British Army 694 MT Coy Army Service Corps from:Cardiff (d.7th June 1916) William Thomas Board is my great uncle, my Grandmother's oldest brother. My Mother refers to him as Uncle John (which didn't help when I was trying to research my family tree!) We knew from my Grandmother's stories that one of her brothers had died in the First World War and I certainly had made the assumption that he was killed in France. After several hours of online searching I was able to discover that William had been part of the Army Service Corps and had been serving in India at the time of his death. His place of death is listed as Sukkur. He and his fellow comrades are commemorated on the India Gate War Memorial in New Delhi. he is listed thus: M2 167224 Pte William Board 694 MT Coy. What I can't seem to find is any further information about him and his Corps or what they were doing in India. I will keep looking.
