Pte. William Percy Butcher
British Army 2nd Btn. Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment
from:Meppershall, Bedfordshire
(d.17th July 1944)
Pte William Percy Butcher was my Great Uncle on my father's side. I was researching my family history and his information came up on a War memorial in Meppershall Bedfordshire at St Mary's Church. I also found his details on a site for war graves. He is buried at Arezzo War Cemetery in Italy. It is good to know that you can access these sites quite quickly as my father didn't know much about his life and what happened to him. I am sure he will be pleased to know that he has had a memorial in his name.
