Private William Edward Turrell 2/3d Btn London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers) (d.16th June 1917) I found the citation to William Ernest Turrell in original condition as given out in the name of George V to those who sacrificied their lives in W.W.1. it says private in the London Regiment. so I thought I would try to find out wnen he died and whatever I can about him. I found his original commemoration in a second hand shop on the Isle of Wight. I want to know how to find information about him.
Update: William was killed on the 16th of June 1917 in the Arras sector, he has no known grave and is commemorated on the Arras memorial in Northern France
