Cpl. James Thompson

British Army 4th Btn. South Staffordshire Regiment

from:Garden Village, Blyth

(d.1918)

My Uncle James Thompson was posted to the 4th South Staffs and was made a Lewis gunner. In the big German push of 1918 he was left to cover the retreat. Here stories differ. Whether he was wounded in the legs or not his pals left him in a shell hole with his gun and one pan and loose ammunition to recharge it. He was never found which grieved my dad. We have tried for years to find his story. My Uncle Jim was part of my granda's 1st marriage. My dad was part of the second.
