William Langley

This bible has carried William’s memory, but not through his own relatives.

William H. Langley was born in England on August 14, 1879. William Harold Langley enlisted with the 7th Battalion Engineers on September 23rd, 1914. During his service he was provided with a bible from the British and Foreign Bible Society. This bible has carried William’s memory, but not through his own relatives.

Bessie G. Hogan acquired William’s bible from the Edmonton ReUse Center. With some help Bessie was able to collect information on William Langley. The Hogan family wishes to thank William Langley for his service.

Langley passed away on May 22, 1946 in British Columbia, Canada.
