WILLIAM MALONE’S WW1

William Malone was an infantryman in the 1st Battalion King’s Royal Rifles. He served during the Battle of Mons in the First World War, but shortly afterwards was wounded seriously enough to ensure his discharge.

The autograph account of his experiences was written shortly after the end of the war.
