World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Peter Leslie McAnulty
Australian Imperial Forces C Coy 23rd Battalion
from:Bendigo, Victoria
My grandfather, Les McAnulty, spent time at the Melksham Red Cross Hospital in England. The photo is a staged photo with a painted backdrop and artificial grass on the ground. It is a common style of photo taken of wounded soldiers at a number of hospitals in England during WW1. These were then sent home to their families in Australia. Even the clothing was of a uniform style and was known as convalescent clothes. Les is seated, the other man is unknown. It would be good if someone was able to identify this man.
Les earned the 1914/15 Star, BWM, VM, ANZAC Commemorative Medal.
"Barney" McArdle MSM.
Army 7th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
Charles Edward McArdle
British Army 249th Field Coy. Royal Engineers
(d.9th Nov 1919)
According to a letter from Charles McArdle to my grandmother in April of 1918 and while he was in hospital, he informed my grandmother that he was with my grandfather, Arthur Elgar Taylor, in Belgium, when they were shelled and my grandfather was hit. He told my grandmother that my grandfather's last words were, "I think I'm done." My son now has that letter and it is considered to be a real treasure and we were very happy that she held onto it and it was passed down in the family.

(d.9th Jun 1917)
Patrick Francis McAuliffe
British Army 23rd Btn. C Company. London Regiment
from:Wandworth
My great grandfather Pat McAuliffe joined up probably in the first week of July 1914, certainly no later than 6th July. His original service number was 700279. He was in C Company when 1/23rd went to France in March 1915. His date of leaving France on 28th May 1915 would indicate very strongly that he was wounded on 25th/26th May at Givenchy, most of the 'lucky' casualties who made it back to UK appear to have left around that date. He may have been held back in UK for longer than it took him to recover from his wound, as he would have been only 17 in 1915.
After his recovery he is sent in a draft to 2/21st London in Salonika, even though he has a six digit 23rd London number. He wouldn't have had to change his number when transferred as 21st London were of the same corps (East Surreys) as 23rd London, but would have been issued it in Jan/Feb 1917.
He remains with 2/21st when they move to Egypt and on the reduction of 2/21st on 3rd June 1918 he's part of the draft that goes to 2/13th London (other drafts went to 2/19th and 2/22nd) and gets his number changed to 494569 He probably has some form of medical downgrade when with 2/13th which leads to his transfer to 21st Rifle Brigade, another number change, 212896 and ultimately his garrisoning of India until some time in mid 1919 when those battalions of the Rifle Brigade seem to have returned home.
