Sgt. Harold Downs DCM
British Army 11th Hull Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Hull
There seems to be little information regarding the 11th Hull Heavy Battery of the Royal Garrison Artillery, but I have just finished a book concerning their time in East Africa fighting the German General Von Lettow Vorbeck and his army. I can't take much credit for the book as it is actually a first hand account written by Sgt Harold Downs DCM. He joined in Hull in 1914 and made it all the way through the war, despite getting Maleria in 1917 and being redeployed to Northern France just in time for the Big Push of 1918. If anyone is interested and would like to know more, please get in touch.
