Wounded in January 1918, John Fitzsimmons was taken by ambulance to a casualty clearing station in Ballieul. He had been laying wire and came to in the CCS. The medics reckoned he was a goner but he survived. John had piece of shrapnel in his side and a wound in his forearm. When he joined up in 1915 as a private, his father had given him a silver hip flask and silver cigarette case. They were stolen from him by the medics.
