AJ_Briant Posted 27 May , 2008 Share Posted 27 May , 2008 I am trying to find any more information about my Great-Uncle: G/26849 Private William James Lane 12th Battalion East Surrey Regiment. Born in Willesden on the 3rd August 1900. Enlisted in West London sometime in 1918. Killed in Action 4th September 1918. Buried in Enclosure 3 Voormezeele, Belguim, Grave XV.K.8 Thats the only information I have found so far. I would like to confirm his enlistment date especially, and hopefully find any other information that may be 'out there', especially any photo's that he may be in during the period August/September 1918. There doesn't seem to be any in the family, but maybe someone has a 'group shot' or something of the battalion in Flanders in 1918. Sadly as you can see he died within a month of his 18th birthday, so it seems likely that he had only just arrived 'in theatre'. Any information would very appreciated.
