Exiled Brummie
My Grandfather joined up in 1912 and made it all the way through the war with just a shrapnel wound to his neck. I think he was pretty lucky.
He served in:
France 4.10.1914 – 4.8.1915
M.E.F (Gallipoli) 24.11.1915 – 15.2.1916
Mesopotamia & India 16.2.1916 – 19.2.1919
Here are 2 pages from the 2nd Battalion's war diary, one showing them finishing training at Lyndhurst Barracks and the second the days including Christmas 1914.
