Pte. William Simpson
British Army 7th Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment
from:Hull, East Yorkshire
(d.29th July 1917)
Relatives of William Simpson who are now deceased, told me that he was wounded I think sometime in 1916 and was returned to England and treated in a military hospital before being sent home for a period of convalescence. When he was recalled, he went round and visited his family members and told them goodbye as he wouldn't be home again. He was killed at Brown's Copse on 29th of July 1917 and is buried in France.
