Dvr J. Palmer 139th Field Ambulance, 41st Division, Belgium 1918-1919
« on: Friday 01 October 21 13:27 BST (UK) »
Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me any information on Dvr. J. Palmer.  I think he had some connection to my Granddad Robert Jones who was injured in WW1 in 1918.  I know there is not a lot to go on but I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks.

Hello Jim, I think you may have helped me before. 
This is my Granddad:
He volunteered to join the army in 1915, served in France with 7th Battalion King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regiment (KORL) - his regiment No. 22995 - July 1916 to July 1918.  Wounded on 8 July 1918, left arm amputated is recorded.  Received a Silver War Badge because of his disability leading to discharge.  British War and Victory medals.
His service in France was up to 8 February 1918 with 7th Battalion.  This battalion was disbanded on 8 Feb and he was among 6 officers and 194 men who were transferred to 1/4th Battalion, it was with this battalion he was wounded on a day the war diary records as a "quiet day, nothing to report" - this on a day when 3 men were killed and 11 wounded.  He was in the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley Southampton in August 1918.
Many thanks.

Tried to find a connection between 4/King's Own & 139/FA but at the
time he was wounded they weren't even in the same Country so that's
not the connection.
I notice he has the 14/15 Star Medal Ribbon which narrows the search a bit.
