Mike Bennett noted that Robert Wilson served at the Somme. This battle took place during the First World War between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on either side of the river Somme in France. The battle saw the British Expeditionary Force mount a joint offensive, with the French Army against the German Army, which had occupied large areas of France since its invasion of the country in August 1914. The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest battles of the war; by the time fighting paused in late autumn 1916, the forces involved had suffered more than 1 million casualties, making it one of the bloodiest military operations ever recorded.

Robert married Evelyn Mary Eastwood on 27 Oct 1917 in Chorlton, Lancashire, England. Evelyn (daughter of Robert Eastwood and Helen Evelyn Collins) was born on 17 Jan 1895 in Salford, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, England; died on 14 Jun 1976 in Romford, Essex, England.
