A/Sgt. Arthur Barton
British Army Royal Field Artillery
from:72 Breeze Hill, Liverpool
Arthur Barton was a Gun Layer with the Artillery. I hold some papers that informed my grandmother of my grandfather's progress. On the 24th of September 1917 He was admitted to No.1 Canadian General Hospital with Gas Poison and Shell Wound. (My wife,s great uncle Frank Bexon,later killed was a stretcher bearer with the Canadians, did their paths cross?)
On the 8th of October 1918 He was promoted to acting Sergeant and my grandmother was advised that his pay would rise from 32/6 a week to 35/- and on 29th of October 1918 He passed his examination as a Gun Layer being graded as Good, and is qualified to act as such.
