William Currie Service Number 359198
« on: Thursday 30 August 18 18:09 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information on this solider? I purchased a Passchendaele 100 Poppy and it was dedicated to him.

Unfortunately his service record didn't survive so other than his father was also William there is no other information.
He was at Pommern Redoubt Ypres when he died according to the 7/CH diary.
