(d.25th Mar 1918)
My great grandfather William Brown was in the 2nd Battalion Cameronians Scottish rifles. He was killed in action on the 25th of March 1918 and he is in buried in Ham British cemetery, Muille-Villette. I don’t really know what happened to him, I got told he got blown to bits and his colleges picked his bits up and put them into a sack and buried him. Then he got found and got buried with all the other soldiers. William Brown was born on the 21st of January 1885, he got married on 17th of October 1904, he joined the army in 1903. He and his wife had 6 kids. I got told he was sent home and did not have to go back but he wanted to be with all his mates so he went back.
