AB. Edward Blockley
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserves Drake Bn Royal Naval Division
from:Sheffield
My father Edward Bockley was wounded to the extent that he was unfit for further service on 28.9.18 while serving with Drake Bn RND. He joined the BEF from Base Depot on 12.12.16, he was invalided to England 23.8.17 and returned to the Bn 8.4.18. A period in Le Treport preceded his rejoining the Bn 4.9.18. After being wounded he was in the Canadian General Hospital in Le Treport prior to return to UK. After assessment at RN Hospital Chatham he was finally discharged 8.11.19.
I am trying to ascertain where the Bn fought and in which specific actions during his period with them.
