World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Sjt. William Edgar Juggins
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Aston, Birmingham
Pte. Frederick Jukes
British Army 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Springhill/Ladywood - Birmingham
My great grandad, Frederick Jukes, Private 177 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He was a regular soldier from September 1904 before the 1st World War seeing service mainly in India.
When the war broke out he had by now re-enlisted in the August 1914 & was part of 4th Division 10th Infantry Brigade. In May (3rd) 1915 whilst on the Ypres Salient Shell Trap Farm he was gassed. Original papers show the time/date my family were informed of his injury & the hospitals he stayed at both in France/UK. From these papers it shows that he, in fact, returned to France only to be medically discharged the following year in Nov 1916. The family have now photos of him in uniform which I have always wanted. I am a retired Policeman & like my great grandad I had to retire following serious injury. Strange as it is, his war badge No. is 466928....my warrant number was similar....4628. Grandad lived to a good age but always suffered with his chest. What he must have seen in those trenches stayed with him all his life. He never discussed the war except his service in India. What I experienced in 26 years of policing he & many others who served in both wars must have seen on a daily basis. I dedicate this narrative to my grandad who served his country/colours with pride, honour & respect. I also pay tribute/thought to all others who have served & given so much that we can have our today. I also include those Police officers who have given so much in serving/protecting their communities.
