John Crickmore
British Army 15th Battalion Machine Gun Corps
from:Bradford
I have recently discovered a collection of postcards sent from the trenches by my great grandfather, John Crickmore, to his wife and young children (aged 4 and 2 as of 1916). One letter states how he is shortly leaving France to serve with the 15th Battalion MGC who are stationed in a location which has been blacked out by a superior, which I believe from my research to be Italy and from the information on this website along with the dating of the postcard 10th of January 1918 to be the River Piave.
He is remembered in my family as a brave man who served throughout the Great War but who sadly suffered from shell shock and the debilitating effect of the use of gas on the battlefield.
