William Flynn (British Army soldier)
William 'Billy' Flynn DCM, (DOB unknown – 13 February 1941) was an English recipient of the DCM, the second highest for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
==Military service==
William Flynn’s record for the Great War and Victory medals show him to originally have been a Special Reservist and it would appear that he was among the Special Reservists who were transferred from the Lancashire Fusiliers to the South Lancashire's on 6 March 1915. His original enlistment date is unknown - he would have joined at any point after 1 April 1908.
His medal card showing his newly allocated number records that he landed in France on 18 March 1915, serving as Sergeant 3479 of the South Lancashire Regiment. On arrival he was posted to join the regiment’s 2nd Battalion. Since this battalion had been in France since August 1914 he was obviously part of a draft of reinforcements.
It was whilst serving with the 2nd South Lancs that he was nominated for the DCM and made a temporary (or 'substantive') 2nd Lieutenant. Again from the Roll of British War and Victory Medals it shows that whilst overseas he not only served with the regiment’s 2nd Battalion but also had 2 periods with the 9th (Service) Battalion.
