WILLIAM MARINER Rank: Rifleman Service No: A/2052 Date of Death: 01/07/1916 Age: 34 Regiment/Service: King's Royal Rifle Corps "B" Coy. 2nd Bn. Awards: V C Panel Reference Pier and Face 13 A and 13 B. Memorial THIEPVAL MEMORIAL Additional Information: Son of Mrs. Alice Wignall, of 18, Fletcher St., Lower Broughton, Manchester. Birth Place: Preston, Lancs Residence: Salford, Lancs Death Location: France & Flanders Enlistment Location: Manchester Type of Casualty: Killed in action  Citation An extract from "The London Gazette" dated 23rd June, 1915, records the following:-"During a violent thunderstorm on the night of 22nd May, 1915, he left his trench near Cambrin, and crept out through the German wire entanglements till he reached the emplacement of a German machine gun which had been damaging our parapets and hindering our working parties. After climbing on the top of the German parapet he threw a bomb in under the roof of the gun emplacement and heard some groaning and the enemy running away. After about a quarter of an hour he heard some of them coming back again, and climbed up on the other side of the emplacement and threw another bomb among them left-handed. He then lay still while the Germans opened a heavy fire on the wire entanglement behind him, and it was only after about an hour that he was able to crawl back to his own trench. Before starting out he had requested a serjeant to open fire on the enemy's trenches as soon as he had thrown his bombs. Rifleman Mariner was out alone for one and half hours carrying out this gallant work". Mariner was born in 1882, one of two sons illegitimate sons of cotton weaver Alice Mariner. Just 5ft 3ins, he worked as a miner before signing up with the Second Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps, where he became the regimental lightweight wrestling champion. He was also court-martialled twice - for striking an officer and threatening behaviour - resulting in long jail terms with hard labour. He joined the reserves in 1912 but much of his time as a civilian was spent in prison for a breaking and entering conviction. It was after the outbreak of war in 1914 that he rejoined his old regiment - a decision that would salvage his reputation. On May 22, 1915, during the second battle of Ypres, he left his trench and cut his way through barbed wire with the help of another soldier before braving no man's land alone. A citation in the London Gazette recorded: "After climbing on top of the German parapet he threw a bomb in under the roof of the German gun emplacement and heard some groaning and the enemy running away. "After about quarter of an hour he heard some of them coming back again and climbed up on the other side of the emplacement and threw another bomb among them left-handed. "He then lay still while the Germans opened a heavy fire on the wire entanglement behind him, and it was only after about an hour that he was able to crawl back to his own trench." Word reached Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener, who asked Mariner to help with recruitment back home. But the soldier's rebellious side got the better of him again and he was arrested for over-staying his leave - this time escaping with a caution after wearing his VC in court. He returned to France, where, on the eve of the Somme offensive, he finally met his death. He was last seen in the early hours of July 1, 1916, attacking an enemy trench before being hit by a shell. His body was never found and he is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial in northern France.
