Machine Gun Corps Harry Roberts was my grandfather. He joined up in August 1914, when he had just turned 18 and was transferred to the Machine Gun Corps from the 7th Rifle Brigade on 18th February 1916 where he remained until his discharge in April 1919. He was Mentioned in Dispatches on 24th December 1917 after Passchendaele. Immensely proud of him, although he passed away before my brother or I were born. His memory will live on. Helen Roberts Add to this record. 233536 Rflmn. Reginald Percy Barrell 21st Btn. att. 41st Machine Gun Corps. King's Royal Rifle Corps (d.26th March 1918) My great uncle, Reggie Barrell, was the youngest brother of my grandfather (my mother's father). He was a farm labourer and had 13 siblings. His mother Annie Elizabeth couldn't write so signed the birth certificate with an X. The family worked the land and lived in a hamlet in Baylham, then Nettlestead, in Suffolk. My grandfather eventually came to London and became a master butcher owning his own shop and Uncle Reggie came to visit and probably stayed with his brother in Camberwell when he joined the army, possibly going on to Aldershot, as my grandfather owned property near there. Uncle Reggie and his regiment was posted to Italy and then sent back to France where he was killed at the Somme aged 22 years. He is laid to rest in the CWG St Hilaire Cemetery, Frevent, France. RIP dear uncle Reggie. Carole Evans Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices.
