Pte. William Webster

British Army 1st Battalion London Regiment

from:53 Napoleon Square, Cinderhill, Nottingham

(d.31st July 1917)

Private William Webster

My uncle, Billy Webster, was killed on the first day of the Battle of Passchaendale, we know very little about him other that his name is on the Menin Gate as he has no known grave. He did once joke with his sisters (prior to him enlisting, possibly even before 1914) that after he was dead his name would be inscribed in "letters of gold". Sadly, I'm sure none of them realised how true that would become.
