214057 2nd Lt. William Carter "WC" Preston British Army 8th Battalion 8th Border Regiment from:Far Sawrey. (d.10th Apr 1918) William Carter Preston was a farmer's son from Far Sawrey. He studied and worked as an architect before the First World War he joined the Army as a volunteer. From all my research he was a good man, a man of great integrity pride and honour in serving his country in this hour of need. He was well liked by his friends in the 8th Border Regiment who gave William the nickname WC and dearly loved by all his family even today we feel his loss. He died among friends on the 10th of April 1918 as a result of a direct hit from a artillery shell.
