Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
William died of Broncho Pnuemonia at the 3rd Canadian General Hospital at Pas de Calais.Please Note
The Warwickshire Roll of Honour Book lists the soldier as Private 9199 Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry but we have found no connection to Ratley for this man, unlike the William named above who was born and raised in the village
