Found a record of a Wilfred Joseph Lawson, born St. Pancras, parents William and Emily, joining the army in January 1912 and being discharged in March 1912 on payment of £10.

According to his medal roll entry he was in France from 10/6/16 - 6/5/17.
So you know he was wounded during April.

"lost a leg in France during WW1 possibly in the arden"

The war diary states they were in the Arras sector.
The Battle of Arras started on the 9th. April 1917.
