Pte. Wilfred Smith

British Army 1/6th Btn. Duke of Wellingtons West Riding Regiment

from:Bradford

(d.30th Apr 1918)

Wilfred Smith was my grandma Lucy's brother and the son of William and Dorothy Smith of Bradford. He was wounded on 14th April 1918 and died 16 days later at the age of 20. He is buried in Boulogne Eastern Cemetery. I have the telegram and plaque given to my great-grandma upon his death. My grandma, who was 5 years old at the time, said that upon receiving the telegram, her mother collapsed with grief. Wilfred's cousin was also killed in the Great War.
