Pte. John Wild Greenwood 2/4th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment My Grandfather John Greenwood was a Quaker, he was married and is buried at Norton-on-Tees Quaker Meeting House, so I found it difficult to relate to him being in the military.
From the little research I have been able to undertake so far, I gather he was in a Pioneer unit in Bermuda, a part of the British Empire that warranted a military presence. In civilian life he was a carpenter and worked at the shipyards in Middlesbrough.
