               William fell with 34 of his comrades from the 1st Battalion that day. Coincidentally, one of those to fall with William was Edward Harry Lincoln, also from Norfolk and enlisting at Norwich and as like Herbert Harvey and Frederick Lincoln, Edward had enlisted in the 3rd Reserve Battalion. The 1st Battalion were Regular Army soldiers and had moved with their Division, the 5th, as soon as War had been declared. They were one of the first Divisions over in France and took the brunt of the early fighting at Mons. Their rifle rate of fire was mistaken by the Germans as multiple Machine Guns! They fought a rearguard action throughout August and September, suffering staggering losses, but inflicting equally staggering losses to pursuing Germans. At the time of William's death the Division were in the Front lines awaiting the 'big push" on the Somme 1916. They had been fighting throughout 1914-15 and had just moved from Ypres and the 2nd Defence there. Sporadic fighting never relented during the build up on The Somme, but like Herbert, because the Division were not in official action, it is not recorded as major fghting. It is likely that William's death may have been the result of Artillery exchanges or raiding party fighting. No Officers are recorded as dying that day. |
