Pte. William Robert Jordan
British Army 6th Btn. Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment
(d.16th Oct 1917)
William Robert Jordan was my Great-Grandfather. He was fatally injured at Monchy-le-Preux in France on the 14th October 1917. He subsequently died of his wounds two days later at a field station on the 16th, and was interred at the Duisans British Cemetary at Etrun.
His remaining grandson, great and great-great grandchildren and their families, all attended the field, near Monchy-le-Preux, one hundred years to the minute after the start of the British raid at 16.30hrs, in which he was mortally wounded by German aircraft following the successful attack on German lines.
