G/8113 Pte William Brunning, 1st Bn, Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regt

G/8113 Private William Brunning of the 1st Battalion, Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment was killed in action on the 3rd November 1916. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial on the Somme.

William, who was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (and was living there and enlisted there), probably joined the Queen's in early 1916.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
