FreeBMD William ApplegateI am confused by William Applegate's origins. I think he is William John Applegate born in Frome registration district Mar qtr 1887 (5c 553). If so he was probably born in Hardingtom (Hemington CP) or possibly in Norton St Philip. If this is correct then he declared his age on enlistment one year older than he was. The alternative person, actually born in Bath, turns out to have been registered as William George Applegate
