Gnr. Ephraim Henry Bradshaw 143 Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

My grandad, Harry Bradshaw, was presented with a silver cigarette case by Lady Haig during a visit to Bermondsey Military Hospital in 1918. It was this case that gave direction to my search. I always believed he'd been wounded at Ypres.

He's shown in one record as having enlisted on 8th December 1915 at Ashton under Lyne. We have a photo of him leaving Stockport for Gosport in 1916, but don't have more. The record shows him as serving with 143 Heavy Battery, which would be in Salonika on discharge 1st of February 1919, when he was aged 33 years. This battery was in France in 1916. He is also shown as being in 141 Heavy Battery, which comes up as East Ham Pals Battery in France in 1916.

John Edward Norton Tyneside Scottish Northumberland Fusiliers

My father, Eddy Norton, served in the Tyneside Scottish regiment. I don't know anything about his time in the First World War, only that I've heard from a relative that he was a sniper. Going through some old photos I've came across him as a patient or orderly in Bermondsey Hospital. Some of the patients are in two-toned jackets. My father in one colour-toned jacket. Can anyone give information on this?

Editors note: The jackets are known as Hospital Blues, worn by patients instead of their uniforms.
