Pte. William Eveleigh
British Army 15th Btn. Hampshire Regiment
from:Portsmouth
Willie Eveleigh served with the Hampshire Regiment 15th Battalion. He was wounded at the Battle of Messines Ridge on 7th June 1917 - GSW right leg compound fracture - and was hospitalised at home. He was discharged due to his wounds in July 1918 aged 24.
I am currently writing a book about his life (he was my grandfather) - including his WW1 experience - which I hope to publish in 2017 to mark the anniversary.
