British Army 1st Btn. Northamptonshire Regiment
William Patching was the eldest of three brothers who were professional soldiers. He seems to have been out of the army in 1914 (he had enlisted in the 2nd Btn in 1906) and was recalled into the 1st Btn Northamptonshire Regiment. Wounded in 1915 he was discharged on 25th November 1916 with the Silver War Badge. The middle brother Bertie J was in 6th Dragoons L/Cpl D/4701 and the youngest Arthur served with the 2nd Btn. Middlesex Regiment. All three survived the War.
