William Henry's Story

He was a was a wonderful man who could relate quite a few tales and stories He went to join the Durham Light Infantry as he was too young to join up and lied about his age.

In the 2nd World war he was a reimental Sargent Major and won may campaign medals and was awarded the MBE by King George. I will always remememer him.
