Pte. William Sharples
British Army Royal Army Ordnance Corps
Based upon William Sharples' Medal Rolls Index Card and Service Medal and Award Roll, he was transferred to Z Reserve status on 9th of November 1919. After a thorough search, neither his service record nor a pension were located, it is very possible that his records were destroyed during the Second World War. From these limited sources available, it cannot be determined which theatre he served in. For his service in the Great War, Private William Sharples of the Army Ordnance Corps, was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
