William Victor Allen Wright

A Private with 6 Company, William died on 17th of November 1918 aged 21.

William was born at Lowestoft in 1897, a son of William John and Rhoda Frances Wright. In 1901 his family lived at 145 Saint Peter’s Street, and by 1911 at 88 Clapham Road. Later his parents lived at Etive, London Road. 

Although it is known that William served with the Army Ordnance Corps during the First World War, he cannot be traced in documents such as Soldiers Died in the Great War, hence very little actual detail is known other that the fact that he died, of an un-named illness, at 5 Stationary Hospital, Dieppe.

Note: he served with the Army Ordnance Corps which became the Royal Army Ordnance Corps just a few days after he died.
