2nd Lt. Robert Kind
British Army 15th Btn Durham Light Infantry
from:Sunderland
Robert Kind enlisted in 1915, presumably in Sunderland where he attended Teacher Training College. He was sent to France in April/May of 1916 and saw action on 1st July opposite Fricourt. He went over the top at 7.30 and was wounded in close quarter fighting within the hour. Having been shot through the lung, his life was saved by his orderly who carried him back across no-man's land. During the process he was wounded again and carried pieces of shrapnel in his body for the rest of his life.
