249264 Pte. Bertie William Webster 11th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment Although Bertie Webster died in 1984 I never knew him due to family skeletons in the cupboard but despite this I was the proud recipient of his medals in the late 1970's and have kept these ever since framed with what photos I have of him. I only know what I have learnt from his service records from Ancestry. So I know he was posted to Salonika in 1917 aboard the Caledonia and his start in army life was as a reserve in the Kings Own Norfolk Royal Regiment Yeomanry in 1915.
