Pte. Reginald Morden Dibsdale
King's Royal Rifle Corps 7th Btn.
from:Kensington, London
My grandad, Reginald Dibsdale was a butcher by trade in the district of Kensington, London, then the Great War was announced. He enlisted and was drafted to the King's Royal Rifle Corps at Winchester.
He was sent to France, Ypres, and fought there with his fellow soldiers. He was wounded in the face and was discharged because of those injuries.
I never met him. Unfortunately, he died from his injuries a few years later. However, I would like to understand his time in the Corps a little better. His son (my dad) Ronald Morden Dibsdale, fought in WW2 in the RAF, and was out in Egypt with Monty. I know his dad would have been proud of him.
If there is anyone who can give me any more information, I would love to hear from them.
