William Challis. Died 25 September 1915
The only William Challis we can find in Wokingham is a man of 36 in 1911, married with 5 children. It is possible that he was an elder brother of Ernest Challis as his parents had 7 children and Ernest was one of the youngest.
The ‘Soldiers Died’ records show William Challis as serving in the 8th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment and he was killed at the Battle of Loos on 25th September 1915, a day of very heavy losses.
