218748 Sgt. James Thomas Metcalfe British Army 18th Btn. Durham Light Infantry from:Darlington (d. ) James Thomas Metcalfe was my Grandfather. He went to Egypt with the Darlington Pals the 18th Division of The Durham Light Infantry where he was Batman to a Corporal Jesse H Kenworthy. He then went to the Somme where he took two hens to Roast for his men, not finding any dry wood for the fire he came across a church door that he broke down. The French were not happy about this so my Grandfather lost his stripes. At least him and his men had a hot meal that night to go with their rations.
