from:Edmonton, Middx.
My Great-Uncle, William Charles Lucas, was recruited into the Royal Field Artillery in 1908, aged 17 having lied about his age (he was born in 1891) He transferred into the RGA for a short time but, by 1911 (confirmed by that year's census) was in India with the XIX Brigade as part of the 6th Poona Div., Indian Army.
He returned to Winchester in Nov. 1914, he was first sent to France with the XIXth, and then ordered to Salonika in November 1915 where he served until cessation of hostilities with Bulgaria in September 1918, being MID by General Sir George Milne in his despatch of 9th March 1919. He may have then been in Mesopotamia prior to returning to UK where he continued to serve until his retirement in 1934, attaining the rank of WO1.
I am now trying to find out more about his service, both in India, during WW1, and subsequent to 1918 until his retirement. I believe that he was part of 96 Battery, but have been unable to confirm this. Very grateful if anyone can add any detail.
