British Army 1/7th Btn. Durham Light Infantry

from:Brandon Colliery, Durham

(d.1st June 1918)

Billy Liddle was the older brother of my grandfather. He enlisted on 22nd of August 1917, joining the 1/7th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry on the 7th of April, 1918. From what I have learned he would've joined them at the Battle of Lys, and was captured and killed in action from Allied air bombardment. He is buried at the Anzac Cemetary, Sailly-Sur-La-Lys. His inscription reads, "We are the dead if Ye break faith with us we shall not sleep".
