Jan Studd Posted 16 May , 2009 Share Posted 16 May , 2009 Private William BELL of the 2nd Batt Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Number S/14766 Date of Death: 28/08/1916 THIEPVAL MEMORIAL This much we now know from fellow forum members, medal index and census, but we still cannot find a connection with the village of Orton in Westmorland We find at in 1911 he was lodging in Leeds as a policeman, but a member states that he is not on the two causalty lists of the relevant police forces in that area. Could he be that he moved into our area prior to 1914. Any help with regard to his record or even a picture would be gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - the residence being Kendal is one of the reasons we feel we have found the correct William Bell this time. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
