Pte. William Benjamin Baldwin

British Army 2nd Battalion Essex Regiment

from:Kings Lynn

(d.5th March 1917)

Private William Benjamin Baldwin was my wife's grandfather and enlisted firstly in the Suffolks, 33659. He appears to have been transferred to the 2nd Battalion Essex Regiment at some point, as yet unknown to us. We are still trying to piece together the jigsaw that was his life but as with all research there are many gaps in the story so far. We do know that he was killed at Arras on 5th March 1917. All items available and relating to his army life were donated to the Essex Regimental Museum by my wife. Unfortunately we have no photographs of him.
