Spr. William Isaac Stanley Tiddy
British Army 9th Field Company Royal Engineers
from:Falmouth
Stanley was a regular who joined the army in 1908, he served with 9th Field Company, Royal Engineers during WW1. He seems to have been wounded in 1915 and in 1917 he was returned to the UK as class W to work as a shipwright later that year receiving a Silver Badge. Although his discharge does not mention shell shock, he was sectioned in June 1917 as being of unsound mind, having attempted suicide and unable to look after himself. He then seems to have spent the remaining 40 years of his life in Oakwood Hospital in Kent.
