Pte. William Henry Charretie

British Army 32nd (East Ham Pals) Btn Royal Fusiliers

from:East Ham, Southwark.

(d.22nd March 1918)

I do not want my great uncle William Charretie to be forgotten which is why I am researching his military service as much as I can anyway. Billie was my Nan's brother whom she loved dearly. Billie was born in Walworth, in 1894 and married his wife Ann Hardy from East Ham in June 1915, a few months prior to him signing up, I presume. He was transferred when the 32nd was disbanded in March 1918 to the 1/1st Battalion of the Cambridgeshires, and was killed on March 22nd 1918 at Longavesnes during the beginning of the First Battle of the Somme 1918.

I am very proud that he gave his life for our country and am actively trying to find more information.
