Gnr. Edwin Charles Bloxham
British Army 40th Brigade, 6th Battery Royal Field Artillery
from:Birmingham
My grandfather, Edwin Bloxham, born in 1885 was captured whilst serving in the 6th Battery, 40th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery on 26th of August 1914 at Le Cateau. My grandfather spent the whole of the war, after being wounded and captured and taken to Doberitz POW camp.
I am exceedingly grateful and proud for what he did for us as and for the sacrifice he made. I am fortunate to have know him as a small child for just a short while, but only now appreciate what he went through. My grandfather came home and remained in the Army at Aldershot until at least 1925 where my own father was born. He too enlisted in 1945 to serve in Palestine. I am very proud to say my great-grandfather, grandfather and father have all served this country in the forces.
