  Pte. Cyril Gordon Wigglesworth 4th Btn. Norfolk Regiment

Cyril Wigglesworth is my grand father. Cyril enlisted on the 3rd of May 1915 and was discharged on the 11th of January 1917 due to sickness. I only know of this information due to the online resources. I am shocked as I always thought my grand father served in Europe along with his two brothers. I didn't realise he served in Gallipoli. Sadly, I have no other information too add apart from God bless and thank you.
