Pte. William Roberts
British Army 18th Btn. Durham Light Infantry

(d.15th Jun 1917)
William Roberts was born in 1894, son of Amelia and Caleb Roberts.
William recorded in his diary on the 1st of July 1916: "â€œThe short but terrible rush through the fierce curtain fire with men falling on all sides, I shall never forget. High explosive shells fell all around us. The sights I saw are too terrible to write about and men almost blown to pieces.. I saw dead and wounded lying side by side. Some were moaning and others had so far lost their reason that they were laughing and singing." http://www.dlidurham.org.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/02-The%20First%20Day.pdf
