Buried TRANCHEE DE MECKNES CEMETERY, AIX-NOULETTE.
The following biographical information is taken from Robert Coulson's "Biographies of Yorkshire Regiment Officers";- "William Armitage was not one of the original party of the 9th Battalion who landed in France in August of 1915 but joined them in a draft later in the year.
He was awarded the Military Cross for an action in early January of 1916 when in preparation for a trench raid he led out a party to cut the enemy wire. Although exposed to German searchlights which brought heavy fire down on them the wire was successfully cut. The raid itself was also a success and Captain Thompson who led the attack and Lt Armitage were both awarded the Military Cross.
In March 1916 the battalion took over part of the line on the Souchez River and during April and May they were involved in the Angres sector where Lt William Harold Armitage MC was killed in action on May 22nd at the age of 24."
From the book "Some Other and Wider Destiny" by Elaine Mercx and Neal Rigby, the following information on William Armitage is given;-
"...a remarkable career at Sheffield University..... He followed up his Scholarship by gaining the Mappin Medal for first place in the first-class honours in Engineering, as well as two University prizes. In addition he was Vice-Captain of the University Team in Rugby football. Not waiting for a commission, he joined the ranks and earned his stars in his own regiment."
(Sheffield ROH website and Sheffield Soldiers in the Great War website.)
The following information is given in "Lives of the First World War";-
"Lieutenant Armitage was the son of Mr & Mrs William Armitage of 34 Rutland Park,late of Knowsley Rd, Southport. He was 24 years of age and was educated at Wakefield Grammar School and Sheffield University. At the outbreak of war he was engaged at Messrs Dorman Long and Company works, Middlesbrough.
He joined the Yorkshires as a private and worked his way up through the non-commissioned ranks. He gained the Military Cross on New Year's Eve of 1916 for carrying through a successful wire cutting expedition which necessitated work being carried out 20 yards from the German parapet. He also brought in a wounded man in the face of heavy enemy fire. Lieut. Armitage was about to be married to Miss Mildred Head, only daughter of Mr C H Head M.A. of St John's, Wakefield."

Apparently he caught a severe chill while on the deck of the transport returning him to the UK, and developed lobar pneumonia. He died of this on 6 March 1919.)
