James Henry Longman

British Army Royal Field Artillery

from:36 Royston Street, Bethnal Green, London

I know my grandfather James Longman served in the RFA during World War 1, but there is much that I don't know. He was working as a clerk until he signed up on 1 December 1914 serving in France (Western Front) from 19 October 1915. I know he was gassed while in action as he lost the use of a lung, but I remember him smoking up to his death in 1975 aged 81. He never spoke about his experiences and therefore I have never known the details of his service record. Any help would be much appreciated.
