252808 Pte. Joseph Johnson MID British Army 4th Battalion Kings Regiment (Liverpool) from:Staveley Joseph Johnson was my great grandfather. I have his medals and his original citations for his Mention in Dispatches, that's why I know he was in the King's Regiment. We have have his snuff box he had on the Somme which is dated 1916 with his name and location on it. I never met him but my own mother (his granddaughter) told me he was virtually deaf from the guns, but she remembers him as a very kind and loving grandfather, who was called pops not granddad. He never mentioned the War and would never talk about it. He grew up in Stavley, Cumbria and lived there after his service. He served with the Border Regiment in a battalion that was virtually wiped out, and then he was transferred to the Kings on what I can find on his records Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
