Gur. William Arthur Massey
Royal Field Artillery 97th Brigade B Battery
from:Lightwood, Shropshire
(d.20th Feb1915)
My Great Uncle William Arthur Massey was born in 1896 in Lightwood, Shropshire to John James & Sarah Massey. Before the war he was working as a groom. He enlisted in Wolverhampton. (as yet date unknown)
He was a Gunner, no. 83973 and was based out of High Wycombe. He is buried in High Wycombe cemetery, Arthur died of pneumonia aged 20 on the 20.2.1915.
Sadly, we do not appear to have very much information about him or any known photographs (yet) and also trying to find out where he may have served to have gained the 3 medals he had.
