80397 Rifleman William Albert Wilkins 30/8/1891-6/11/1918

William Wilkins saw no action in France - he got no further than his Brigade's Reserve Depot in Brocton, England.  While his fellow Riflemen were liberating Le Quesnoy in the last New Zealand action of the war, he was dying of pneumonia in England.

The following images, with the exception of the gravestone, are from Archives NZ.
