241953 2nd Lt. William Bernard Spice British Army 5th Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment from:London William Spice was my grandfather and I have a picture of him in his uniform. He was born in 1893 and died in approx. 1973. He was in the Dorset Regiment, 5th Battalion which I believe was a volunteer battalion (Kitchener's Army). I knew that he had fought on the Somme but it looks like he was in Gallipoli, Passchendaele and the 100 days offensive as well. This was not something that he spoke to anyone about to my knowledge. I would like to know more. I would have thought that to be a 2nd Lieutenant fighting in the above battles he would have to have done well to get through it.
