225937 Pte. William Thomas Farmer British Army 2nd Btn. South Wales Borderers (d.13th Aug 1915) William Farmer was a member of the 2nd Battalion, South Wales Borderers. He died at the age of 18 aboard the Royal Edward on the way to Gallipoli, Turkey. According to authors James Wise and Scott Baron, the Royal Edward‍'s death toll was 935 and was high because the ship had just completed a boat drill and the majority of the men were below decks re-stowing their equipment. Since William never saw action in WWI, he did not receive a war medal for his service.
