Cpl 9417 William Frankland UNSWORTHThis image was on a Post card sent by a chum of Williams (to his own family) from GALLIPOLI (the card found it's way to Bella, Williams wife). On the reverse of the Post Card read "This is my chum, Sgt William UNSWORTH who used to go in 'Nick BURKES' (Public House called the GREYHOUND in Ordsall, SALFORD. Nick BURK was the landlord). I think Jim knows him, he has never been seen since 21st August, the people with him got burned to death in a wood Turks set alight...."
