Pte. William Albert Simblet
British Army 13th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:19 Buller St. Felling
(d.6th October 1918)
My great uncle William Simblet served with the 13th Battalion Durham Light Infantry in WW1.
His Death Certificate says his name is Albert William Simblet and his headstone says A W Simblet. His actual name is William Albert Simblet.
I believe he may have been wounded on 5th of October 1918 attacking the Hindenburg line with the 25th Division and taken to No.20 Casualty Clearing Station where he died. I visited his grave in Doingt Cemetery, on 6th of October 2018 exactly 100 years to the day he died.
