253863 Pte. John Albert Palmer British Army 16th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment from:Bristol My Grandad, Jack Palmer, died long before I was born, so the information I have is sketchy. He died at 50 from the effect of being gassed from his time serving in WW1. His son, my father, was only 11 when he died, but he always said his father was an old man at the age of 40. Jack was 28 when he joined up and I have learnt from medical records and research that he was posted to France on 10th of July 1916 and was sent home on 13th of September 1916. I have worked out that he would've fought in the Battle for High Wood and he received a gunshot wound to his right forearm. He was discharged from the Army a year later due to this wound and being not physically fit for service. He never truly recovered, but at least did marry and have a son. We are all very proud of him and his generation. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
