Gnr Richard Grant Middleton

British Army 21st Bty., 2nd Bde Royal Field Artillery

from:60, Wharton Road, Bromley, Kent.

(d.10th Oct 1916)

My Grandfather, Richard Middleton is buried at Corbie Communal Cemetery Extension. I have an extract from "The London Typographical Journal" :

R G Middleton, late of the Evening News, Shot in both legs. The left below the knee, the right thigh. Succumed after amputation of right leg. He was volunteer of 3rd London Rifles 1895 to 1908. Family illness kept him out of war until Sept 1915 when he joined the Royal Field Artillery. A good correspondent, his letters to his companions were looked forward to, and although he went through some exceedingly rough experiences, there was always a cheerfull tone running through them. He was 36 Yrs of age.

Any information would be gratefully recieved.
