Pte. John Hamilton "Jock" Macgregor MM 6th Battalion Royal Fusiliers My grandfather John Macgregor joined up in the Rifles and was sent to France in March 1915. He seems to have served throughout the war, and was awarded the Military Medal, recorded in London Gazette August 1917 but I don't know what he did.
He survived the war, marrying my grandmother in approx 1920. My mum was born in 1922, and my aunt in 1929. He suffered damage to his feet, and later had his leg amputated. He died in 1941.

Pte. Leonard Charles Marshall 6th Battalion Royal Fusiliers Our grandfather Leonard Marshall was educated at Stationers' College and had commenced his banking career prior to WWI.
Enlisting in late 1915 he served in France, where he suffered a serious head injury in late 1916, requiring one month's hospitalisation. This ended his war service.
His injuries meant that he was unable to insure his life, which lead to great family hardship upon his death in 1947.

Pte. George Edwin Selby 6th Battalion Royal Fusiliers (d.3rd May 1916) George Edwin Selby was my great-grandfather. He died aged 45, when my grandfather was only 3 years old. My grandfather never had the chance to know this man but was always immensely proud that he died whilst serving his country. My memories of my grandfather are tied up with his visits to the war memorial at Walpole Park, Ealing, that bore his father's name.
