Rfmn. William Burns
British Army 9th Bn. Royal Irish Rifles
from:Willowbank, Knockbreda Rd. Belfast
(d.8th Aug 1917)
William Burns was my grandfather's brother who was killed by a shell on the 8th of August 1917 at Ypres. I am told he was beside his brother who also served when the shell hit. The brother survived but nothing was found of William. He is remembered on Menin Gate.
