Gnr. Fred Anthony 113th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

Frederick Anthony joined the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) - 6th Coy, 43rd or 45th Regimental District, in Peterborough in November, 1902. After what seems to be some very brief training, and at least one posting to Gibraltar 1902-03 (where he was charged with drunkenness just prior to Christmas 1902), he was finally discharged from active service 15 September 1905. After this, while still in the RGA Reserves, things get a bit murky. In 1911, he emigrated to Calgary, Alberta, Canada with his young family. Then, sometime prior to the outbreak of WWI, he returned to England where he was re-mobilized with the RGA.
He served on the Western Front with the 113th Heavy Battery from 5th of October 1914 to 9th of November 1915, and was repatriated, seemingly at the end of his term of service, in Gosport on 15th of November 1915. He immediately returned to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where he signed up as a gunner with the 61st Battery, 137th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). He served a few months, from approximately February-April 1916. For unknown reasons, however, he was determined to be "unfit for war service" and released. He lived in Calgary with his wife and children until his death in 1976.

Gnr. James Wright 113 Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery (d.27th Feb 1919)

James Wright was my great uncle. I know very little about him and would love to know more. He joined the Royal Garrison Artilery in 1915, and caught Malaria somewhere. He married in January 1918. He survived the war and came home to Scotland very ill during Christmas 1918. He went back to rejoin his unit at Maroilles, France in January 1919, but was taken by a French ambulance to Fourmies where he died. He is buried in Fourmies Community Cemetry. I would to love to know where his unit went during the war.

This brave man, my great great uncle, Frank Murphy survived this horrific war but sadly died in 1919 of influenza and TB. Sadly, his wife had died in childbirth 6 years previously so when Frank died, he left his two young children orphans to be brought up by their aunt.
