Pte. William Raylton Freemantle
British Army 4th Btn Yorkshire Regiment
from:Middlesbrough
(d.20th Sept 1914)
Private William Raylton Freemantle died on Sunday the 20th September 1914 at Greenbank Hospital, Darlington. He had committed suicide by shooting himself whilst temporarily insane. This can mean one of two reasons; either he deserted or just could not face the war. I truly would like to know the truth on either case as William was my Great Uncle and as I am compiling my Freemantle Family Tree I do need to enter all the correct facts for future generations.
