Pte. William J. Gillings

British Army 12th Btn. Kings (Liverpool) Regiment

(d.21st Dec 1917)

Will Gillings was married to my paternal Grandmother's cousin, Florence Carne. What information we had suggested that he was in Ireland with The Lancers for his military training. It is only now that I have found his death record from WW1 that I have discovered he was in the Kings (Liverpool Regiment) when he fought in France. He was buried in the Berlin South Western Cemetery. I have yet to find out which battle he was killed in. Before he went off to France, he made a model of an officers cap using an old penny and some copper, which he gave to my Grandmother. I inherited this after my father died.
