William was the son of William and Mary Grant, and before joining the Royal Garrison Artillery as a regular before the war he lived at Eassie, near Glamis, Forfar. He now rests in Trois Arbres Cemetery, Steenwerck.
The epitaph on his grave is an interesting one, I would think chosen by his parents; it reads:
"Fighting to save a world's morality he died the noblest death a man may die"
