Pte. William Holmes
British Army 1st Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Jarrow
(d.16th June 1915)
I have memorial card for a relative, William Holmes, and I decided to find out a little more about the Battle of Hooge. I was surprised to find a mention of William, but it left us wondering if there were two William Holmes from Jarrow. This is because the memorial card states his age as 26, whereas the the mention on the site states his age as 23. It would be nice to know the origin of the memorial card, was it sent by the military or did the families of the fallen do their own personal cards?
