211346Gnr. William Harold Story 2nd East Riding Bty. Royal Field Artillery
I know my Grandfather, William Story was a prisoner of war in 1918. He served in the 50th Northumberland Division with the RFA & I would like to know where he was captured, his field of operations and whether he was wounded during the war. He was in the Territorial Army prior to the war and during it. My grandfather spoke very little of his experiences of the war, having been involved in heavy fighting and losses.James Robinson
