Pte. Sidney Edwards
British Army 1st Btn. Worcestershire Regiment
from:Birmingham
I know little about my grandfather, Sidney Edwards' war other than that found online. He served with the 1st Battalion, Worcestershire Regiment and the Royal Flying Corps in WW1. He miraculously survived the horrors of the trenches but was documented as having been seen at Barlin casualty clearing station on 29th of December 1916 and diagnosed with influenza. He remained with his battalion and transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in 1918. Having been gassed in the trenches towards the end of the war he was able to return to his family safely but suffered breathing problems thereafter due to the effects of the mustard gas.
