William (junior) was posted to serve in France with the Queen s Own (Royal West Kent Regiment) in 1916, at which time he had been a Lieutenant. He was recorded as being 4 years old at the time of the above census, and as such combined with the date period that his birth was registered, it is indicative of him being 21 years of age at the time of his death.

William s place of birth as entered above is as extracted from Soldiers Died in the Great War, but his Commonwealth War Graves Commission commemoration shows him as having been a native of Wrotham, Sevenoaks, Kent. At the time of the 1901 census the Hollands family was residing at Keepers Cottage, Wrotham, Kent. Adding to the confusion re William s place of birth, the census enumerator has entered William as being a native of Hartley, Kent, doubtless it being indicative of the parish near Dartford, Kent, as opposed to Cranbrook, Kent. The census also shows that William was apparently following in his fathers footsteps, as both were Gamekeepers. William was posted to France on Wednesday 14 July 1915 for service with the British Expeditionary Force, at which time he was serving as a Corporal in the Royal Field Artillery. 5
