205017 Cpl. William Henry Hewing British Army 7th Btn. Sherwood Foresters My Grandfather, William Hewing was 19 when he went to war in France and was involved in some of the bloodiest and most gruesome battles ever endured by soldiers of the British Army. He was with the infantry in Richelbourge St Vaast in 1915, The Somme in July 1916, Vimy Ridge in winter 1916, part of the attack on Gommecourt later he saw action with the tanks at Ypres, Cambrai, Amiens, Hindenburg Line, Arras, Selle Villers and Bretonneaux. I have a detailed account of the time he spent in France written by his own hand some years after the war. It is a very moving account which is being printed in the Derby Evening Telegraph on Monday 9th November. AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM.
