Pte. William Earnest Goulty MM.
British Army 8th Btn. Norfolk Regiment
from:Norwich
Originally from Norwich, Pte William Goulty MM relocated to Rotherham, South Yorkshire after WW1, along with two brothers.
The family story goes that he was a runner and he won his Military Medal for actions in 1916. No citation has survived, which was apparently written on a drum skin, his medals are in Norwich military museum.
As was sometimes the case, the war was never mentioned, no stories have survived.
Does anyone have any section/platoon/battalion photographs, newspaper cuttings etc of the 8th Battalion?
