William would have been my second cousin.I have a letter which he sent to his sister whilst he was serving in Egypt in 1935.In the letter he said they were in Cairo and were going to Khartoum in a few days time.He also said that the Italians were invading Abyssinia but he said he didn't think it would come to much.Also the details on the grave are wrong,William or Bill as most called him was driving an ammunition truck on D Day when it was hit.He was badly injured and flown back to Down Ampney airfield then taken from there to the old John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford and he died from his wounds on the 13th August 1944
