William Sutherland FLETT WW1 1920
« on: Sunday 06 July 25 21:41 BST (UK) »
WILLIAM  SUTHERLAND  FLETT died on 26 Mar 1920 after serving with the Royal Scots. Aged 33, he was the son of John and Helen Flett.
William died in Keith Hospital but his home was at North Blantyre Street, Findochty where he lived with his wife Minnie. His Pension Card would suggest that Minnie later moved to Deptford, East London.
William's war-time experiences contributed to his early death and he would appear to be entitled to War Grave status - if proof of burial can be found.
Does anyone know where William Sutherland Flett is buried ?  Any information would be gratefully received.
