William Henry CHALCRAFT is on the 1911 census at 17 Cadogan Gardens, London S.W. working as a Footman for Thomas William SNAGGE (from Dublin, who was Judge of the County Court) and his family.

William's war record is well documented on Ancestry inc. - residence on enlistment: 51 Berkeley ? London W - the possessions belonging to him etc, 1 disc, 1 razor, 1 purse, 5 coins, 1 Le...... + Letters and Photos. (embarked, posted 28 May 1916 to the front - died 22 July 1916)

All his family are mentioned + their addresses - and a young lady (Miss Florence Cumberland, 78 Upper Berkeley Street Postman Square W) who was sent his Victory Medal.

All very sad reading.
