My father Stanley Marriott joined the 2nd London Regiment at Tufton Street Westminster in 1914, above is only photo we have, taken at Epsom Race course in October 1914 whilst training. He never spoke of his wartime experiences,we knew that he fought in the Gallipoli campaign and on the Somme.
However, in 1978 he was interviewed by a Radio Humberside reporter, unfortunately his recorder malfunctioned and only bits were recovered but we were able to learn of his WW1 experiences. It appears that he served in Malta,Egypt, Gallipoli and France, mostly in the front line trenches and was wounded,in the back of the head, in the final advance on Cambrai. At the time the armistice was signed, he was in a Belgian hospital. When he died and was cremated several pieces of shrapnel were found amongst his ashes.
