William Ness was my great uncle who I found out about when I helped take out the poppies at the Tower of London in 2014. My mother had always said that she had a uncle who had died at the Somme. So I looked for him and this is what I have found out so far. Her father James Ness and his older brother William enlisted at Glencorse Barracks, Midlothian. They were sent to France and James was gased and returned home November 1917. William must have continued and was killed in action on 28th of March 1918. He is buried at the Senlis Communal Cemetery extension near Albert, France. There are 104 First World War burials here and I visited his grave one very cold December day 2014 with my family.
Now at the commemoration of the end of WW1 I am very proud to have tickets to be part of the people's thank you march on 11th November at the Cenotaph London. I will lay a wreath for William and all those brave young men known and unknown who served their country and gave the ultimate sacrifice for us all.

Pte. Robert Arthur Newberry
British Army Essex Regiment
from:61 Milton Road, East London
My grandfather Robert Newberry, whose own grandfather then his father ran the off-licence which was the family home, joined the Essex Regiment at 18 and subsequently fought against the Turks in Mesopotamia. He used to tell me tales of the front, including one I remember where his unit used to pass a dead Turk on leaving their trench, whose hand was raised in rigor mortis. Each of his comrades would shake the hand as they passed, a piece of typical Cockney black humour. I believe this has become a kind of urban myth but he was not one to exaggerate or tell untruths. Another tale was of a wounded Turk not far from his trench crying out to them for help, whom he felt sorry for, but his sergeant gave an order to shoot dead this enemy individual.
He survived the war and eventually took over the off-licence until his retirement around 1970. His most memorable time was during the Blitz in WW2, when the locals all used his cellar as an air-raid shelter. After retirement he and his wife moved into a local flat where they remained until his death in the mid-1970s.
