Nottingham Post obituary (abridged), 8 June 1915: 'Second Lieutenant W Inchley, 2nd Duke of Wellington's, victim of poisonous gas May 5th, Leonard Avenue, Nottingham.'
An article published in the Grantham Journal - 24 December, 1915,
"It is with very great regret we record this week the death, in France, of Lieut. W. Inchley, 2nd Battalion Duke of Wellington's Regiment, the sad news being received at his home, 49, Dudley Road, Grantham, this week. The gallant officer was formerly an engineering pupil at Messrs. R. Hornsby and Sons, Ltd., subsequently taking an important appointment as lecturer of engineering at the University College, Nottingham. He was the author of several technical works on Engineering and Combustion, which are recognised as standard works, and gained for him great prominence in his profession. Whilst at the University he became attached to the O.T.C., and held the rank of Colour-Sergt. In November, 1913, he received a commission in the Reserve of Officers, and on the outbreak of war was posted to the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. Last June, Lieut. Inchley was invalided from the front, having been a victim of poisonous gases, from which, however, he had practically recovered. It is about twelve months since the deceased officer proceeded to France, and he had been concerned in much severe fighting, notably around Ypres, and at Hill 60. It was at the latter place that he received his "gassing." Upon his complete recovery from this attack, deceased proceeded north for duties in training recruits, and again went to France a few weeks ago. The news of his death was conveyed in an official notice to his wife. Lieut. Inchley had many friends in Grantham and was extremely popular. He took a keen interest in cricket, and was a prominent member of the Grantham Cricket Club when residing in the town. His wife is a daughter of Mr. Lowson, one of the managers at the Spittlegate Ironworks, and she and her three children have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends in their great loss."
