Pte. Thomas William Edwards
Britsh Army 4th Btn. Yorkshire Regiment
from:Middlesbrough
Billy Edwards was my grandfather who died in 1948 well before I was born. He embarked to France in 1916 and his service record also notes that he served in Italy. He appears to have received a gun shot wound soon after arriving in France and was shelled in 1917, both instances ending up with stays in field hospitals. In the spring offensive by Germany in 1918 he captured on 27th May and was taken to the Worms POW camp.
