Pte. James Nutter
British Army 9th Battalion Cheshire Regiment
from:Colne, Lancashire
My great grandfather, James Nutter, enlisted on 18th November 1914 in his home town of Colne, Lancashire. He initially was posted to the 15th battalion of the King’s Liverpool Regiment then transferred to the 9th Battalion, Cheshire Regiment in November 1915. In December 1915 he was shipped to France.
On 30th July 1916 James was injured in the right thigh by a shell. The wound resulted in the amputation of his right leg. He was sent back home in August 1916 and officially discharged from service in August 1917. He returned home to his wife Ethel May and had at least one more child, my grandfather, Harry Nutter.
