Pte. William Donald Parker

British Army 2nd Btn. South Lancashire Regiment

from:Rushden

(d.7th October 1918)

William Parker was my grandfather's brother. Joined up aged 16 in 1914. He was taken prisoner April 1918 at the Battle of the Lys and was held behind the German rear lines. During a British air raid on 7th of October 1918 a bomb was dropped near to his billet shattering the windows, a piece of glass hit and killed him. To have served the whole war only to be killed accidentally within 5 or 6 weeks of the end of the war was tragic.
