234099 Pte. William Lucas British Army 4th Battalion Royal Welsh fusiliers from:St. Asap, Flintshire (d.5th February 1917) All I know about my great uncle, William Charles Lucas, is that he was wounded on the Somme where he was between July and September 1916. He was shipped home to the UK and in early February 1917. He died and is buried at St.Asaph Church Cemetery in North Wales, he was 27 years old. I have so far been unable to verify if he died from his wounds as I've been unable to trace any medical records for him. Additional Information: I have been able to find further information regarding my Great uncle, it would appear he received severe abdominal wounds during the Battle of Ancre on the somme and after a short stay in a field hospital he made the long journey back to the uk. He eventually arrived at a Auxiliary Hospital named Brogyntyn at Oswestry,Shropshire. Here he had operations on his abdomen but died of Sepsis in early February 1917.
