Pte Arthur Somerset

British Army 7th Btn. Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

from:Sheffield

(d.16th Aug 1917)

I believe my great grandfather Arthur Somerset was killed at the Battle of Langemark on 16th Aug 1917. His widow Florence was left with 5 children to bring up. He was thought to be in his thirties when he died.

I was unaware of his story until I found his war medal in 2008. As a child I was vaguely aware that someone in the family had died in the Great War but had obviously not paid much attention to this. All my life I have felt a great affinity to Armistice Day and now feel this could be because of Arthur.
