William Starkey volunteered for the Liverpool Scottish on 24 June 1915 at the age of 21. He was posted to the 2/10th Battalion, whom he accompanied to France in February 1917. Private Starkey was wounded on three occasions, as the three wound stripes clearly visible on his left sleeve in one of the photographs attest.
