Pte. Ernest Walter Pratley
British Army 1st/4th Btn. Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry
from:Witney, Oxon
(d.12th Jan 1916)
Ernest Pratley was my Great Uncle. He was killed in Pas de Calais and is buried at Hebuterne War Cemetary. He was married to Margaret Louisa for less than a year when he died. Apparently (though I cannot source it) he was sheltering in a church waiting to come home when the church was bombed. He was about 23 years old
