WILLIAM THOMPSON.
LOCAL MEMORIAL: Kirk Fenton Church.
There are so many William Thompsons on record as giving their lives it is not at this time possible to place a certain record to this man.
However in 1908 a William Thompson was born in Tadcaster and in July 1943 a Gunner Willliam Thompson Royal Artillery Service Number 1735996 aged 35 gave his life in Thailand,
could this be him.
Arthur Thompson was also in the Royal Artillery.
Can you help.
