L/Sgt. William George Chard

British Army 2/4th Btn. Hampshire Regiment

from:Bishops Waltham

(d.21st July 1944)

My uncle, William Chard, brother of my mother Hilda who, while in the WAAF, married an American paratrooper in WW11 and migrated to Montana, USA. William died in battle near Arezzo, Italy and is interred in the Arezzo War Cemetery. I don't know much about William nor does the surviving English family. His company commander was a Captain Wakeford who was awarded the VC for an action on 13th of May 1944, at Cassino, a month before my uncle's death. His brother, Harold, served aboard the HMS Fury.
