Pte. Patrick Smith 7/8th Btn. Royal Irish Fusiliers
I have a hospital receipt from Queen Mary's Hospital showing Patrick Smith arrived at the hospital on 19th of August 1917. I'm trying to determine what the cause of wounds was. He recovered after 9 months and was transferred to the Reserve units back in Ireland.John Meehan
Pte. John Paterick "Paddy" Reid 13th Btn. Cheshire Regiment
Jack Reid left Ireland and joined the British Army, 13th Battalion, Cheshire Regiment. He was sent to France where he received severe facial and arm wounds on 10th of August 1917 at the age of 22. Paddy was returned to England for treatment at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup. Here he received facial reconstruction as a patient of Dr. Gillies. Paddy also met and married a local girl, Kathleen Price, who we believed worked at the hospital. They lived in Orpington and St Mary Cray area and brought up a family of seven. Paddy worked at Fort Halstead as an engineer until retirement. He very rarely spoke of his wartime experiences.Frank Reid
