William was my Fathers Uncle from his Mothers side of the family. I remember being told the story when I was young that he was in the regular army and was despatched to France at the outbreak of the War. He was the eldest Son of the family andI remember seeing this photograph in my Grandparents house. I will ask my Dad who is now in his 80’s a bit more information including the reference to his Brother, H Barham
