G/54435 Pte William A Moakes, 19th Bn, Middlesex Regt

G/54435 Private William Alfred Moakes of the 19th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment died on the 11th July 1918. He was born in Barnet, and was living at Victoria Street, Middlesex. He enlisted at Whitehall; probably in late 1916, and he is buried in Terlincthun British Cemetery in France having almost certainly died in a nearby base hospital as a result of sickness or injury.

There is birth registration for a William Alfred Moakes born in the June quarter of 1899 and this is almost certainly the same man.

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