Little is know about William Franklin other than that he served with the West Yorkshire Regiment in the Ypres area and was reported as being killed in action on 25th April 1918, aged 31 years. His body was never found and he is remembered with honour at the Tyne Cot Memorial. His widow Maud Franklin and two year old daughter continued to reside at 136 Harehills Lane Leeds until 1968.
