Pte William George Dempsey
British Army 12th Battalion Manchester Regiment
from:Liverpool
(d.24th April 1917)
We know very little about William Dempsey. The only concrete thing we have found out about him is that he must have lied about his age to enlist. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission have his age as 22 when he was killed but he was actually 20 as he was born September 1896. He left a widow and an 11 month old son (my wife's father).
