Bmbdr. William Bernard Lane Murray
British Army 133rd Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Brighton, Sussex
(d.9th Mar 1919)
Will Murray enlisted in 1914 and waited until the war ended before marrying his fiancee Lilian. The marriage took place immediately after the Armistice on 17th of November 1918 and then, leave over, Will returned to France. Tragically, he was shot and killed on 9th of March 1919. The details of the incident are not known currently, but family stories suggest that it was murder or manslaughter by a fellow soldier rather than an accident. Our search will continue for any official reports carried out at the time.
