Gender Male Occupation From 11 Oct 1920 Employed by Great Western Railway - William was initially employed at the age of 17 as an Engine Cleaner. His record indicates that he continued doing this job until 16 April 1934 when he became a Fireman and was transferred to Slough in Berkshire. He worked at Slough until 17 April 1944 when he was promoted to Engine Driver and was posted to Bristol. It is clear that he didn't like this posting and requested a return to Slough which was granted on 1 May 1944.
