Pte Pizarro William Beckett

British Army 2nd Btn. York and Lancs Regiment

from:Sheffield

My Grandfather, Bill Beckett was not one of the officers or heroes as such, but he was one of the millions who did what had to be done, and I have a free life because of them. He is a hero in my eyes. From research that I have done, (and do not have too much of his story I might add), he left Sheffield with the 2nd York and Lancs regiment and went to the Somme in France. He was transferred on 1.6.1918 to the 861st Coy, ASC. I have read The Long Long Trail documents of others and the life they lived and I also have a few copies of his file from the "Burnt Documents" and that is all I know of his life during the Great War.
