Name: William Foley
Residence: Bootle, Liverpool
Death Date: 19 Jul 1916
Rank: Private
Regiment: Royal Warwickshire Regiment
Battalion: 2/7th Battalion.
Number: 20851
Type of Casualty: Died
Comments: Formerly 3277, Liverpool Regt.

There is no additional CWGC information and there are several potential candidates in the 1891 and 1901 census returns for Liverpool.

(It is curious that SDGW has William listed as died rather than KIA)

Thanks
