Pte. William Capstick
British Army 4th Battalion Border Regiment
from:Bolton
There are casualty records for William Capstick of the 4th Battalion, Border Regiment in France in 1940 and 1945. My father believes these are for his uncle Bill who was born in Bolton in 1916. Bill returned from the war with a severe wound and though he emigrated to Australia in the early 1950s he returned home. My father remembers Bill's stories about fighting in India. Unfortunately, he never fully recovered from his wounds and died in the late 1950s.
