Pte. William Dunn

British Army 1st Btn. Cheshire Regiment

from:Warrington Road, Northwich, Cheshire

Pte. William Dunn was my grandfather. He served with the Cheshire Regiment. I only know he wrote two letters home which were printed in the local paper. His records seemed to have been destroyed. He was at Louvain and named a daughter after the place. (Georgina Louvain.) We think he was a batman. He was in the 3rd London Hospital at Wandsworth in November 1914 and that is about it.

Additional Information:

I now know he was working at Brunner Mond when he was re-called to the colours on the outbreak of war as he had been a regular up to about 1900. He was not wounded at Louvain but he was wounded with the first battalion the Cheshire Regiment in October 1914 and invalided home. The wound was so bad he never went back.
