Personal life

Prior to the First World War, Woolley worked as a miner in Codnor and Pinxton.[2][3] At the outbreak of the war, he enlisted in the Sherwood Foresters; due to his profession, he was transferred to the Royal Engineers and joined the 177th Tunnelling Company.[2] He was severely wounded in May 1915, but recovered and returned to his company, which was positioned at Railway Wood, Hooge.[2] On 22 July 1917, Corporal Woolley was supervising a dugout when gas shells hit the position.[2][3] He went inside the dugout to assist other soldiers, but was killed in the process of doing so.[2][3] Woolley is commemorated on a memorial at the RE Grave, Railway Wood.[4]
