Pte. Campbell James Oldridge
British Army 4th Btn Worcestershire Regiment

My grandfather, Campbell Oldridge, went to enlist in Birmingham in January 1916 but appears to have been rejected on that occasion. An amended enlistment report the following year (January 1917) shows that he travelled to Worcester. It stated that he had a hernia but was accepted for service, on condition he was fitted with a truss. His medal card states that he served in the Worcester Regiment, Labour Corps and the Royal Engineers.
