Pte. Thomas Henry Chapman
British Army 1/5th Battalion Sherwood Foresters
from:Milford, Derbyshire
Harry Chapman was my grandfather and he served throughout World War I. He only spoke to me once about the war, which was when I told him I was going to join the Women's Royal Naval Service in 1974. He said that if he had his time over again he would join the RAF. I asked why, as he had never expressed this idea before. He said that when he was in the trenches, he used to look up and see the men flying above and think, "God, I wish I was up there."
