Drmr. Edwin Percy Watson
British Army 4th Btn. Royal Fusillers
from:London
(d.26th October 1914)
Edwin Watson was my great uncle. He had been a regular soldier. He was due to leave the service when the war started. He went to France on the 13th of August 1914. He died on the 26th of October 1914. His body was never recovered.
My grandmother found it very difficult to accept that he was dead and searched for him for a long time. I have his medals, the 1914 Star and two others, they are the only things remaining of Edwin, no photos exist, that, and his name on a war memorial in France.
