L/Cpl Henry Gregory
British Army 13th Btn. Middlesex Regiment
from:Hammersmith, London
(d.1st Nov 1916)
My Great Grandfather, Henry Gregory, served with the 13th Middlesex during WW1. He was one of the first to join the new Kitchener's Army along with his brothers. He was sent to France in 1915 and straight into the battle of Loos.
He was eventually severely wounded by a gunshot to the head during the battle for Guillemont on August 18th 1916. From my grandfather I was told he was totally blind and his head covered in bandages. He sadly succumbed to his wounds on 1st November 1916 by cause of meningitis which at the time was common for head injuries.
He is commemorated in Hammersmith Old Cemetery.I am lucky to have his medals. Which were sold by a family member in the 1980s an I managed to track them down 23 yrs later and are now back with my Grandfather's WW2 medals and my own medals from recent times.
I would love to hear from anyone who has info or pictures regarding the 13th Middlesex Regiment
