Bingham War Memorial

	Private William Baden Footitt	Sherwood Foresters (Notts & Derby Regiment)	born 1900
Medal Card	No service/pension records exist on Ancestry No medal card is available. He would have been aged 14 when the war started and only 18 when it finished. He probably did not serve abroad for long enough to qualify.
Roll of Honour AVL	Served on Western Front. No AVL details. Thus we do not have a record of which was his battalion. Photo courtesy of “Dag” Footitt
