William Murray Crawford Runciman, a native of Liverpool, worked for Cunard as a clerk in the Purser’s Department. He proceeded overseas with the first reinforcing party draft in January 1915, serving with distinction, before being commissioned into the 4th Battalion, Cheshire Regiment on 27 February 1918. A photograph of Runciman appears in the book, Bravest of Hearts, by Hal Giblin.
