Pte. Albert Carter

British Army 9th Btn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)

from:Scarborough, Yorkshire

My granddad, Albert Carter, 16477, of the Scottish Rifles was injured in World War 1 on the Western Front. He was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital at Reading for treatment and then demobbed due to his injuries to his leg. He was awarded the lapel badge the silver cross to show that he had served in the war and so that he would be spared from receiving the white feathers (for cowardice) from over-zealous war enthusiasts of the day. He walked with a stick for the rest of his life.
