    Hi John
    A formal welcome to the forum.

    I just checked and according to the GG Roll of Honour William was Killed in Action so there's no guesswork as would be in the case of Died of Wounds.

    edit
    As soon as I can I'll post up the account of that day from their History for you to read over.

    Thanks to Owen for getting pages scanned
