Hope you find the site useful. I do not come from Wiltshire (just live here now) and saw the article in the local paper

Thank you for this link. My ancestors were from Wiltshire.

My great uncle died in Mesopotamia in 1915 and although I knew his name was on a memorial in Basra (Iraq) and have a photo of this, I didn't know his name was also on the war memorial in Warminster, which I found on the site you mention.

Thanks again for this.
