from the size of his number he was probably in the late 1917 batch. Not found any more about him yet, when I do I'll let you know.

Thanks Retlaw.
He suffered grenade shrapnel wounds to his right hand and went to the rehab hos[ital in Weston - super - Mare. The place was still functioning as a hospital in 1962 when he came to visit us in Weston.
He went on to become a foreman at H & B in the Ring Room and subsequently became the supervisor in the Toolroom there, followed chap called Crawshaw I think.
Thatnk you for your efforts on my behalf.
