Thanks very much for that , unfortunatley neither Wiiliams are mine, Mine was born Runcorn Cheshire.  Regards Kassi

Theres 6 Illidges listed on Soldiers Died In Great War..Only one with a cheshire connection
Rest are in the St Helens /Manchester/Wolverhampton none born Runcorn.
Thats not to say none were Killed in Navy Royal Marines or Air Force but CWGC is best bet for that.
