(d.22nd Oct 1916)
I found out about my great uncle, William Pearson, from an old photo of a girl named Sarah (whose surname I am withholding so as not to upset any living relatives). On the photo she sent to him was his rank and army number 12129, also his battalion, the 4th Worcestershire Regiment. He joined before 1911 as he was at Dover Castle with his regiment for the 1911 census. He was wounded on 20th October 1916 and died of wounds on 22nd October 1916.
I am lucky that, with the help of my computer and that of all the organisations that put so much time and effort into gathering all this information, I could find out about him. Thanks to you all. Neither my father nor any of my family never spoke about it, so thank you Sarah for sending William that photo of yourself and all the information with it. I am writing this on the 17th October 2016 and will be remembering him on that day as I may be, at the age of 75, a direct descendant of him.
