Rfm William McKittrick 14/02/1917
He was born in Newtownards, Co. Down Northern Ireland where he is commemorated on the War Memorial
He was survived by his wife Jane and his son Robert who was born on 24/08/1913.
They lived in Church Street, Newtownards.
William was labourer and Jane "Jennie" worked in a local factory.
He enlisted in 06/1915 and was sent overseas in October 1916.
His commanding Officer, Capt George Apperson wrote to Jennie:
"Dear Mrs McKittrick, I have a very sad duty to perform you in writing to you about the death of your husband, Rfm W. McKittrick, who was killed in action on 14/02.
He was a splendid soldier and one of the most useful men in the Company. No matter how hard things were he never grumbled, and always did more than his share of the work. We buried him in the military cemetery, just behind the trenches, beside some of his comrades. We are having a cross made for his grave and it will be well cared for.
You should be very, very proud of your husband, who had given his life for his King and Country and for the safety of the people at home.
With deepest simpathy from the Officers, NCOs and men of "A" Company."
Rev Robert Kelso, a Presbyterian chaplain with the Ulster Division wrote to Jennie:
"Dear Mrs McKittrick, Will you please accept my sincerest sympathy of the loss of your husband killed in action during the past week.
He was a good soldier and a loyal comrade, and I can assure you that his death is much deplored by all the officers and men.
To you the lost will be most severe, and I can understand something of your feelings, but you will find some comfort and satisfaction in that he died like a true man and gave his life for his King and Country. The memory of what he did, how nobly he responded to the call of country, and how splendidly he fought a good fight till the end. The memory of this will surely add a touch of pride and joy to your sorrow, and you can thank God that he proved himself a real man and that in the day of need he was not found among thy slakers. My sincere prayer is that God may sustain and comfort you, and may he enable you to think of your brave husband as "still on active service" with that great company who have passed over and are always before the Throne of God."
Jennie's father, Sgt John Johnson served in the same Rgt as William.
William's son, Robert had six children.

with her saviour, My dear wife is as well as can be expected her health is good but for a long time she could not get a sufficient quantity of sleep owing to the noise that poor Jane made whilst she was sleep have the kindness to let Mr Milliken know and Miss [Lana?] White if you will do my dear wife and myself the honor of dropping us a few lines we will feel thankful hope it will not be too much to request you to let us know as to the health of Revd [Reverend?] [Hugh?] [stained] John McKitterick Esq., Thomas Rogers Esq., John Taylor Esq., not forgetting your own dear self and Husband & Children My Dear Wife joins in [stained] respects to yourself & Husband
