Pte Septimus Willis Barnes
British Army 56th Battalion Machine Gun Corps
from:Manchester
My grandfather was a 1st Class Machine Gunner in the 56th Battalion MGC from August 1916 until demobilisation in December 1918. Like many others, he never talked about his experiences during the War but amongst his possessions we found a spent bullet which leads me to think that he was wounded at some point.
