Rifleman William James Summers
Army 17th Battalion
(d.4th July 1916)
I have a photograph of a family grave at Manor Park which lists two brothers who died in the Great War, but one of them, William James Summers is not listed on the CWGC debt of honour. I know this is not at all unusual and there is an organisation devoted to adding the names of those missing, but I'd rather like to check the records of The KRRC to see if he enlisted under this name.
He served with the 17th Battalion and died at Festubert on July 4th, I think, 1916 aged 26.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might check this out further?.
