208367 Pte. William Rae British Army Royal Irish Fusiliers from:Scotland (d.8th May 1915) Our present family did not know anything about William Rae. It is through family history research we have found him. We discovered that during WW1 he served in the Royal Irish Fusiliers but, sadly, he was killed in action on 8th May 1915 in France. He is buried in the Commonwealth Grave Cemetery - Bailleul, Communal Cemetery Extension. His great grandson is a serving army officer and recently visited William's grave in November 2011 with William's great grandson. Although we have tried to find William's service records we have not yet been able to do so. However, now that we have found out some information we will always remember him for his bravery in WW1.
