That was my great uncle. He joined up at the beginning and saw action in Salonica and Mesopotamia before transferring to the Western front.
Re: Stevenston - On This Day In History
No MANBEAR , William didn't win the VC. He has no known grave as he was blown to bits. However his name is inscribed on the headstone at the family plot in Bangor cemetery. His name is also inscribed on one of the panels in the British cemetery at Arras. His name is also on the Stevenston war memorial and it is actually a mistake because it says he was killed in 1915. I decided to do nothing about it, best just to leave things alone.

STEVENSTON – A PARTY ROW
At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court yesterday, JAMES WELSH, collier, was charged with having, on the 27th February last, assaulted JAMES KELLY, a char-filler, at Stevenston, on the occasion of an Orange band procession, the accused being a Catholic and Kelly an Orangeman.
Welsh pled not guilty and was defended by Mr Beveridge, solicitor, Ayr.
He was found guilty, and fined £4, with the alternative of 28 days’ imprisonment. Welsh had several times previously convicted, but the Sheriff took a lenient view of this offence, as it appeared that the prisoner was first himself assaulted by the Orange party.
