Dear All I wonder if anyone can help? My mother is going to visit the battlefields of France in a few weeks time. Her father, WILLIAM JAMES PRINCE, born 1895, served during WW1. He was on the Somme on his 21st birthday, and , as he put it, 'just for a change', at Passendale the following year. He was wounded in Flanders (I don't know how), and , I think, returned to duty thereafter. He was a member of the Royal Artillery, the 12th or 13th Siege Battery (possibly both?) and he was Gunner 58885. Can anyone help me with any info about him or his deployment during the war, or any other details which may be of interest, or info of any sources which may be able to help? Thanks in advance Kind regards Nick Burton
