Tribute at the grave of W Burns
1/2
William Burns was born in St Helens, Lancashire and enlisted at Mill Hill, Middlesex. He died of appendicitis aged 18 on 16th April 1916 and was awarded the Victory and British medals.
William is buried at Baillieul Communal Cemetery, in France.
We visited William's grave in August 2014, and laid his tribute. He is buried at Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension; a very well kept enclosure within the larger Bailleul Communal Cemetery. Thomas Jubb is also buried here, just a couple of rows away.
