you may regret asking that  ,

Willy insisted on coming home with me, so I could try and find his family for him 

Not at all, so many of these men have been forgotten... someone has thrown him out of his family, it was good of you to take him in.

I presume gortonboy's information comes from the NA as ancestry does not appear to have William C (unless my eyesight is getting really bad  ). It does however have another William. This is what is there for the medal cards:-

William H Garbutt     Royal Engineers, Royal Engineers     322516, WR/277704

William H Garbutt     Yorkshire Regiment, Yorkshire Regiment, Royal Engineers, Royal Engineers     3880, 201146, 473903, WR-176680

I have waded through their other records 27 service records/10 pension records, but I don't think that he is there.

Thank you for your time.

I would like to think he was one of those that came home to his family
