Def Norfolk regiment. Arthur Wymer No 1633 was a territorial soldier and is seen wearing the imperial service clasp ( willingness to serve overseas). He later transferred to the Northamptonshire's No 43447, 1st Battalion and was KIA 9/9/16. (later battles of the Somme).

Hi, this is going to sound a bit weird... so please bear with me!

I was visiting my Nan (Hilda Dxxxxxx) with my Mum (Julie Dxxxxxx). I was speaking with them both about family history and in particular family members that fought in WW1. My Nan suggested I look up Arthur Wymer. So I did, she was amazed that I found him online at all, and preceeded to give her snippets of information, like where he was killed and other bits and bobs... then I found your photo of him and you mention you are related! So, I guess we probably are too albeit distantly!

I only registered on this site so I could contact you, so haven't read the rules on what I can or cannot say. If its ok to give you an email address I would explain further and provided some amazing information on other family members from the same era which I found amazing.

Best regards, Dan
