Sadly, very little indeed can be found on William Thomas Day except that he was the son of William Henry and Sarah Ann Day, who lived at 3 Clairmont Terrace, Holywell Lane, Conisbrough. 

William was a Private in the Northumberland Fusiliers, and has no known grave. He is commemorated on the Loos Memorial, having died on 7th May 1918 at the age of just 19. 

Records suggest that he had previously been part of the West Yorkshire Regiment, holding regimental number 60510.
