Pte. Bertie Williams
British Army 12th Btn. East Yorks Regiment
from:Southwark
Bertie Williams was my maternal grand-father. He was shot in the leg during WW1 and sent back to recover in the Canadian hospital at Orpington, Kent. He was not fit for further action and therefore joined the Labour Corps.
Although I cannot be 100% certain I understand that soldiers 36568 Johnson and 36560 Swain were both killed on the 3rd of May 1917 at Oppy Wood and therefore it is likely that Bertie was wounded at Oppy Wood too.
