Excerpt from A Soldier.docx "Immediately the men of the 28th Battalion experienced difficulty. Mud impeded their attempts to move forward. Much of the terrain was muddy up to the knees and in some places up to the waist. This slowed their advance significantly, increasing the time span between artillery barrage and infantry attack. As a result, the 28th Battalion received the brunt of German fire and suffered heavy casualties." WW-II Stanley Willis, b: 1917 died in battle in WW-II, found no other details. This was my grandmother's[Hazel Hillary Purves nee Willis] father's[Mark Willis] brother's son's son. 2nd cousin to my grandmother, I think that would make it 4th cousin to me.
