Dvr. Patrick John Biggins
British Army Army Service Corps
from:Leigh, Lancashire
My grandfather, Patrick Biggins did not talk much of his experiences, we only know that he used to travel to the front line with ammunition in between 2 mules with his legs drawn up in order to get through without being shot. Once, he started to unload the ammunition and realized he was too far over as he could hear German voices so he beat a quick retreat. He recalled taking the dead body of a friend to a church in France. It was literally in ruins and blood was pouring down the steps from the bodies. I, by coincidence, watched the Warhorse documentary in March and spotted him holding an injured horse. I have now bought the British Pathe film from which it was taken. We hadn't realized he had worked with the Veterinary Corps. In the 1911 census he was 15 and was a bottler in a brewery.

Lt. H. Biggs DCM.
British Army 6th Dragoon Guards
I acquired two named grouping's of 2 different Soldier's of Great Britain, within a trade Deal where I sold a pick-up truck. The first being a Lieut H. Biggs, he was a member of the 6th Dragoon Guards and also the Queens 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooter's). I've been trying to research and realized he was a great man and soldier. I've also been looking through many regimental group images, to maybe locate a image of this man,to be added to his great military grouping of awards and decoration's. Before acquiring these grouping's, I didn't realize how special these are to hold. Many write-up's, of one or both of these 2 hero's occurred in the London Gazette, and other publication's, regarding this man. His decorations, were preserved in a display case with another man's, Sjt. J Arthur, who was a member of the Cameron Highlander's. In attempting to research, I discovered when this man earned his DCM's, via write up in London Gazette, on June 23rd,1915.
Maybe through this wonder site, I could possibly make contact with a family member of one of these soldier's. I am an American, and before this, I love researching our war of the State's, WW1 and WW2. Now, I'm finding a love for the British Conflict's, through earlier generation's. If any fellow history buff, finds they have a image of one of these 2 hero's, please feel free to contact me, I'd love to view it, if you didn't mind sharing. I also thank these fine folk's who hold the men of these conflict's, in such high regard. Many Thanks.
