Arthur Robert Heath 128th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery My grandfather, Arthur Heath, enlisted into the RGA on 20th of October 1915 and went to France on 23rd of March 1916 with 128th Heavy Battery. He served as a gun layer through the war and was slightly wounded on 23rd of March 1918, but remained at duty. He received the Victory Medal and British War Medal. He had two periods of leave at home during his service and first saw my mother when she was 18 months old, as she had been born six weeks after he was sent to France. My grandmother recalled how, when he arrived home, he stripped naked on the doorstep and left all his lice-ridden clothing outside and immediately had a bath. She then picked up his underclothes and shirt with the coal tongs and put them in the copper for washing immediately, and ironed his trousers and tunic to kill the lice and eggs, which popped as the hot iron went over them. At the end of the war, his father asked for his release from the army as he was needed in the market garden business run by the family and he was discharged on 4th of February 1919. Cathryn Corns Add to this record. 259328 Gnr. William Edward Baxter 128th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery Bill Baxter enlisted on the 9th of December 1915. He was immediately transferred to the Army Reserve. He rejoined the colours on the 1st of June 1916 and was posted to the depot as a gunner. He was posted 20 days later to an anti-aircraft depot. On 10th of October 1916 he became part of the British Expeditionary Force in France, he was with the 128th Heavy Battery Unit. In early January 1917, he was injured, we believe when working as a messenger. He was admitted to No.8 Stationary Hospital at Wimereux on 7th of January 1917 with a Gun Shot Wound to his right arm, right leg and left leg, which was classified as severe. He was transported home on H.S. Jan Breydel on 20th of January 1917 and admitted to the Bagthorpe Military Hospital, Nottingham. When he was being transported to this hospital his train went through Chelsea and he was thought to be delirious when he asked to be let off the train. Bill had his left leg amputated and was eventually was discharged on 15th of February 1918 Amanda Baxter Add to this record. 231577 Sgt.
