Hi there Mike
I've taken note of your  email and ,I'd be happy to share with you family history etc,I believe my mother has a couple of pictures of her grandfather Arthur,the family lived in the same house that was Arthur and Hannah Willeys until 1979 and we moved when my mother remarried and I was Age 11-12 my grandfather continued to live at the property until his health deteriorated in 1982 when the house was sold.
I have a family picture  of Arthur and Hannah and their 3 children,I will try to attach that image to my email and will be in touch via email with my contact details etc as I'm currently living in Northallerton,and I know my mother would be interested in any info about her grandfather,I don't have his military record but I will check with family to see what they do have and be i n touch shortly.
Best wishes
Wayne.

Hi there my name is wayne.

I am the great grandson of. 141801 BDR Arthur Willey who was killed on the 10th Oct 1917 while serving with the 295th  under the 2nd Anzacs,I believe he was killed during  or just after the Battle of Poelcapelle,and I know he is interred at the Huts cemetery in Belgium,he was 28 years old at the time of his passing.
I do have a photograph Im waiting on from family but any other information about Arthur would be greatly appreciated as we don't have an awful lot of information.
My son is serving in the forces  and is going to Belgium shortly to the Huts cemetery to look for Arthur
