William's Story.
Nantwich Guardian, Friday, November 10, 1916.
Private W. Jacks.
Private William Jacks, formally employed at the Crewe carriage works for about 12 years, has been killed in action. In 1909 he migrated to Toronto, Canada, and obtained employment under the municipal authorities. He was living there until the 19th of February 1916, when he volunteered to join the Canadian Infantry. After going through training in Canada, along with the remainder of the battalion, he was sent to Shorncliffe camp in England to complete the training. Eventually the battalion underwent some changes, and they were sent over to the front. Private Jacks fell on October 11.
