Pte. William James Alfred Bell
British Army 8th Btn. Bedfordshire Regiment
from:Radlett, Herts
(d.18th May 1917)
My Grandfather was Private William James Alfred Bell of the 8th Btn., Bedfordshire Regiment, who was wounded at Arras. He was the Son of Mr. & Mrs Walter Bell of Barnet Herts.
So far I have not been able to establish exactly when and where he was wounded but have discovered that he was transferred to the Hospital in Calais and died there on Friday 18th May 1917.
He is buried in the Calais Southern Cemetery. He died aged 35 leaving his wife and two sons aged 2 and 3 years old.
