Very many thanks ,I knew some but not the Regimental details.
Yes it was near Armentiers,somewhere beginning with F,,Fromelles I think,Frehlingen?must look it up.
He had epilepsy after he returned and so he and my mother did not marry until they were
relatively old.She 37 and he 36, they waited until my father’s seizures had stopped for two years ,at that time it was considered after that long he would not have any more and he never did.
He did not get home I think until May 1919.
Lots of papers lost when his father’s house was totally destroyed in WW2, we have some and a couple of photographs including a very long one .
Many thanks again .
