WW1 soldier from Leicester remembered in new film

Available for over a year

A 17 year-old from Leicester who fought in the First World War is being honoured in a short film. William Arthur Cramp was initally rejected from serving due to a heart condition but went on to win a military medal for his efforts. He wrote down his experiences in a journal, which he called 'My Little Bit in the Great War' which was kept by the family. William's journal has inspired local historian Jim Butler to make a film about the teenager which is out for Remembrance Sunday. Jim told BBC Leicester's Ady Dayman how he first came to know about the journal. Image: J. Langham
