WW1 soldier from Leicester remembered in new film
A 17 year-old from Leicester who fought in the First World War is being honoured in a short film.
William Arthur Cramp was initally rejected from serving due to a heart condition but went on to win a military medal for his efforts.
He wrote down his experiences in a journal, which he called 'My Little Bit in the Great War' which was kept by the family. William's journal has inspired local historian Jim Butler to make a film about the teenager which is out for Remembrance Sunday.
Jim told Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Leicester's Ady Dayman how he first came to know about the journal.
