Hi Carol,
Welcome to the forum. Can you give us some more information? Which war, did he survive, do you know which regiment he served in, has he already been mentioned on the forum?
Regards,
Garry

Thanks, Carol. So Bill is the second man pictured in the article hereunder. I am unsure if there is anything more that we can unearth about the Burton brothers link, but we will see if we can find any further information on Bill Burton and get back to you soon.
