2/Lieut W. Steele, att'd Lancs Fusiliers

[daggers]

There is a CWGC entry for this officer, but I cannot find his Medal card online. As he is only stated to be attached to Lancs Fusiliers, there may be more details in Officers Died. Could anyone please look for him there? I am looking for his first name also.
