Do not know very much at all about William Hands except that in the 1911 census he was still living at home aged 16, with dad, George and mother, Ellen (his father was a house painter). He was working at Cadburys as a chocolate moulder. He died of his wounds and was buried in the Military Cemetery at Lijssenthoek, 10 miles west of Ieper nr Poperinge.
