262460 Gnr. John Ramsey British Army 26th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery from:London John Ramsey was my great-grandfather, who married my great-grandmother in 1918 in Shrewsbury. He was in the Royal Garrison Artillery with the British Expeditionary Force but then transferred to a labour battalion, presumably because he had become injured. After the war, he left his family, which included 3 young children under the age of 4, in Shrewsbury as he 'could not cope with Shropshire life'. I believe he died during the Blitz, perhaps as a volunteer firefighter, but this is only a story from relatives who were alive at the time but are no longer with us.
