Sgt. William Gilbert MM
British Army 26th Btn. (3rd Tyneside Irish) Northumberland Fusilliers
from:Silver Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
My Gradfather William Gilbert married into an Irish immigrant family in Newcastle and as a consequence when he joined up he chose the Tyneside Irish pals battalion of the Northumberland Fusilliers. He was awarded the Military Medal for action during the Battle of the Somme but I do not know the details of the action for which the MM was awarded.
