Bill Hazell was my great uncle. His sister Florence Hazell was my paternal grandmother. He was a fishshop assistant and lived in Child's Hill, north London (between West Hampstead and Golders Green). I have been told that my grandmother was much affected by her young brother's early death at the age of 24. I have visited his memorial which is on the Menin Gate and it is a very sad and moving place. I note that his date of death coincided with the explosion of mines before the Battle of Messines and am interested in knowing if he was killed as a result of the blasts or in the fighting which took place subsequently.

"Both Rifleman Heal and Smith were in 2nd Surrey Rifles Battalion which was a Battalion formed of varying Packets of new troops put together with more experienced troops and fed into the line to gain experience initially. On the 16th July 1916 the Battalion went into the Line as a complete and experienced Battalion near Anzin and occupied a trench called Bonnal in the front line. This trench was continually heavily shelled by the Germans on the 16/17th July 1916 and constantly rebuilt at night. It was recorded that the ration party collected three bodies form the Bonnal trench on the 17th and must presume that two of these were Rifleman Heal and Smith." This is a letter a relative got from The Surrey Rifle Association. I visit Walters grave at Louez outside Arras regularly and I am sure Rifleman Smith is buried next to him.
