Sgt. George Edwards
British Army 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards
Whilst clearing the household effects of my wife's recently deceased mother, her grandmother's diary/autograph book came to light.
Apparently she acted as a volunteer visitor/nurse at Carmarthen Red Cross Hospital during WW1. In the book are several poems, comments and drawings by patients at that hospital. One such is by Sergeant George Edwards 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, written on 29th November 1914.
He states that he was wounded in a bayonet charge at the battle of Aisne near Vendresse on October 4th 1914.
