Unfortunately there is no story to be told as Samuel Wain died way before I was born and was never discussed. I only found out about him because I was doing my family tree. What I do know is that he died from being gassed.
I found this site through searching about him but there is nothing I can find and it feels wrong, so at least he is being acknowledged being in the war there and sadly dying there too.
