Happy 100th Birthday to retired Somerville Firefighter William Griffiths. Bill retired in 1982 and was a proud member of Engine Company 2 running out of the Cross Street Firehouse then moving with the company to open their “new” quarters at Headquarters on Broadway.

Bill is a member of The Greatest Generation who served his country during World War 2 in the United States Marine Corps. He was assigned to the 1st Tank Battalion and he fought at Cape Gloucester, Peleliu and was later wounded on Okinawa. After the War, Bill returned to his hometown Somerville and joined to Department.

It was great for our current and retired members to have the opportunity to stop by and wish Bill a Happy 100!!
