Hi, I have manged to find a Gt Uncles war record on ancestry, it mentions him being wounded and being in hospital in Boulogne, it even has the little slip the army sent his mother to say he had been wounded - but it doesn't say how or where he was injured. Does anybody have any ideas how I would go about finding this information? He obviously didn't talk about his experiances as my Mum knew her uncle quite well and this was all news to her! |

I can see why you would have liked to know more - their life for several years was consumed by the war. I had hoped to find out about by grandfather's WWII service, but having seen the list of daily casualties in his unit, and descriptions of the typical routine of waiting around for days at a time followed by yet more deaths, I'm perhaps lucky not to know more. |
