BarbaraG Posted 2 December , 2021 Share Posted 2 December , 2021 (edited) Wondering whether his DCM would have been awarded posthumously? https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/732637/william-ingles/ Edited 2 December , 2021 by BarbaraG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 2 December , 2021 Admin Share Posted 2 December , 2021 I would have thought so. I’m no expert, but after the chaos of Loos, it would have taken some time.Not sure where he came from, but if it was Cheltenham, @dink999 might find something in the papers about it. Edit I see he was from Willersey, Worcestershire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldstreamer Posted 8 December , 2021 Share Posted 8 December , 2021 some of the service papers for ww1 enlisted men are very sparse and you may not get much more info for £30 the papers would cost you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo Posted 9 February , 2022 Share Posted 9 February , 2022 I have been looking for information regarding Corporal William Ingles as I think he may have been related to my grandfather and they served together in the 10th Battalion of the Gloucestershire regiment. I have replica displays in my bar at home as a way of honouring them both. I have my Great grandfathers I have enjoyed seeing some of the info in this thread as I have not seen some of them before.
