238773 Pte. William Carter British Army 8th Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps from:Bethnal Green (d.30th March 1917) My great uncle William Carter died on the 30th of March 1917. After the Battle of the Somme memorial weekend I decided to finally trace William. He was courting my grandmother and they would have no doubt married if he had returned from the war. When he didn't, my grandfather who was in Gallipoli and won the DCM, swept her off her feet on his return to Blighty. They married in 1922. William survived the Somme and then got killed just before the Battle for Arras. The only casualty that day. It's been an emotional few days as he really did die for me. I wouldn't be here now ( or any of the Carter family) if it hadn't have been for William. I wonder if he knew his brother Francis fancied his girl?
