Pte William Arthur Weybourne

British Army 3rd Battalion Monmouthshire Regiment

from:Ebbw Vale

(d.17th April 1915)

William Weybourne was the my maternal granmother's (nee Alice Battrick) half-brother, she was adopted by his family when she was a baby. He was the nephew of E. Battrick of 2 Mount Pleasant Road, Ebbw Vale in Monmouthshire.

Billy was killed in Belgium a few days before the beginning of the 2nd Battle of Ypres, aged 19. His body was never recovered but he is mentioned on the Menin Gate. His campaign medals were, Victory Medal, British War Medal and 1914-15 Star. My grandmother must have been about 3 or 4 when he was killed. She kept a small photograph of him by her bedside until the day she died in 1998.
