WW1 Military Biographies

We honour the memory of all our ancestors who played their part in World War One at home or away.

So we are pleased to present short biographies of all those whose names we have found in the military records.

William Alfred Emptage

William Alfred Emptage was 18 when he enlisted in the 3rd Battalion of The East Kent Regiment “The Buffs” in 1900, following his brother Henry Emptage who had joined in 1897. They both saw action in South Africa in the second Boer War. William transferred to the Royal Horse Artillery in 1902. In 1914, by then a reservist, William was one of the first to be called up at the outbreak of war.
