Pte. John Hedges 8th Btn. East Surrey Regiment

John Hedges was my grandfather. All I know is that he served with the 8th East Surrey Regiment. We always had a photo of him in uniform holding two grey horses by the reins. We do know he was in France on the Somme, also that he was gassed at some point. Records show he suffered afterwards from it. We think maybe he took part in the football advance (again, not confirmed). Unfortunately, he died during WW2 of peritonitis (not in service). As far as I know, he never discussed the war, and although he has two survivors still alive, little is known. The picture of him is being hunted down as I write this and, if found, could be of significance.

Pte. Wilfred Geary MM, MID. 8th Battalion East Surrey Regiment

My Grandfather, Wilfred Geary, joined the Army in March 1916 with his brother Ralph. They both joined the Royal Sussex Regiment but both were later transferred to the East Surrey Regiment before going to France in September 1916.
Granddad was posted to the 8th Battalion and Ralph to the 9th Battalion and both trained as Lewis gunners. Granddad saw action on the Somme and then at Passchendale at the Battle of Langemark. He was with his Platoon and part was cut off from the rest of the battalion by heavy German fire. They came up to a broken down Tank and he and 5 other men sheltered inside. Then the enemy laid down a heavy barrage and seeing they where in danger he told everyone to get out but most of them were too exhausted or scared. Only through his willpower and strength and character he got everyone out of the tank in a few moments when running to the lines the tank took a direct hit. Granddad received a Mention in Dispatches.
A month later he was wounded by shrapnel and the same day his brother, my Great Uncle Ralph, was wounded receiving a shot to the head from a sniper but he amazingly survived.
In August 1918 at the Battle of St Quintin Canal he rescued his platoon sergeant was wounded and stranded in no man's land he went out under heavy fire and rescued him. He also attempted the rescue of another man but was beaten back by heavy fire. Granddad was awarded the Military Medal but we later heard he was going to be recommended for the Victoria Cross but his commanding officer was killed before he could put his report in.

Pte. Walter Thomas Franklin 8th Battalion East Surrey Regiment (d.12th October 1917)

As a result of a string of coincidences during the past five years, we have started research, in earnest, into my Great Uncle's part in the Great War, his name was Walter Franklin and he served with the 8th East Surrey Regiment. We were very fortunate to win tickets in the ballot for Passchendaele 100 at Tyne Cot in July this year and we were given information beyond our wildest dreams by the incredibly helpful archivists at the Memorial Museum in Zonnebeke. On our return and following yet another random internet search, I was completely stunned to find my Great Uncle's medals and memorial scroll for sale at a specialist dealer.
Not untypically, there is little information in our family, my paternal Grandfather was Great Uncle Walter's youngest sibling and himself died in the late 1960s. My father knows no more than the fact that his Uncle went away and never came back, other than anecdotal evidence to suggest that he might have signed up under age.
My Great Uncle died 100 years ago tomorrow (I write this on 11th October 2017) at the age of 19. I am committed to finding as much as possible to complete his story.
