Lt. Gerald Caleb L. Chamberlain
British Army 194th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Southampton
Gerald Chamberlain was my wife's grandfather. He served as a Bombardier in the RGA from 1914 in France. He was promoted to Sergeant in France, and was sent back to England for Officer cadet training. Commissioned to officer rank, he was sent back to France from Cooden Camp, Bexhill, Sussex.
He lived until he was 98 (I think) and wrote his memoirs in 1980. There's quite a bit in his memoirs about wartime experiences in WW1 and WW2, and about his civilian life and family. Really interesting! He had several near misses during WW1 engaged in artillery and signalling work. I am gradually scanning and digitising his memoirs. I do think they are worthy of publication. We also have several photos of Gerald Chamberlain in uniform and in France.
