A resident of the small settlement of Stoke here on the Hoo Peninsula, William Stephen Watson was my great grandfather’s nephew. He was only 21 when he was killed, on 17th February 1917 during the Battle of Miraumont.
With the passing of this centenary, I hope I will get the opportunity to visit Arras again in the near future.
