The story of Captain
William Blyth FULLER
Grandfather of Michael HARE of Rooksbridge.
Although Captain William FULLER was not a resident of our parish,
He served in WW1 and died on May 16th 1915 leading his men over the top at the opening of the Battle of Festubert in France.
His story of his service and commitment should be heard.
