Rflmn. William Albert Watson

British Army 1st Btn. King's Royal Rifle Corps

from:London

(d.27th July 1916)

Rifleman William Watson, who was my grandfather, was a fatal casualty on 27th July 1916, during the Battle for Delville Wood. Interestingly though, as far as I can tell from scrutiny of the Delville Wood, Longueval British Roll of Honour, July-September 1916, he was the only 1st Battalion KRRC soldier of their 144 fatal casualties, to be buried in the Bernafay Wood Cemetery. (I've often wondered why.)
