211557 Pte. James Stanley Proctor British Army 6th (Service) Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment from:Spalding, Lincolnshire My grandfather, James Proctor joined the 6th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment in 1914. His medal record on WO/372/16 shows that he disembarked "Balkans" 18 July 1915. This ties in with the Battalion history of the units involvement in the Gallipoli campaign at Sulva bay. My next information is he is with the 3rd Battalion back in Grimsby in March 1917. He married my grandmother at the local Baptist church (Anne Mitchell nee Ainsworth) as the 3rd battalion was the depot/training battalion for the Regiment I presume that he had been wounded, shell shocked? I then found he was listed as being with the 1/5th battalion,on "absent voters list" 1919. He survived the war (though his marriage did not!) and passed away 1933.
