Pte. William Foster

British Army 15th Battalion Machine Gun Corps

from:Port Glascow, Scotland

(d.27th June 1918)

William Foster died on 27th of June 1918 due to wounds received 4 days previously.

"Our worst fears have been realized, and your poor boy has passed away. He bore up well, in spite of the fact that the wound was so serious, and did splendidly at first. Then the wound showed signs of poisoning and it was necessary to operate and remove the shrapnel. He was a man of great spirit and bore it bravely and patiently, but his strength failed him. For the last four days he was getting weaker. The end came peacefully and painlessly yesterday." letter from Reverend W. S. Kirkpatrick
