World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great battalion regiment artillery Did you know? We also have a section on World War Two. and a Timecapsule to preserve stories from other conflicts for future generations. 248614 Pte. John William Norton Machine Gun Corps My grandfather, John Norton was born in Ipswich on 3rd October 1892 and it is not known when he exactly joined the Loyal Suffolk Hussars. Several photographs in my possession show groups of soldiers but the only one dated is the camp at Tidworth in 1915. Another photo taken at Tidworth Camp details that they are C Squadron, 3rd & 4th Troops. Very little seems to have survived of his military service, however he was awarded The Silver War Badge, which reveals that he was wounded. This is supported by two photographs that show John standing, with another man, outside the Golders Green Convalescent Home, thankfully he has written "January 25 1918, Golders Green Convalescent Home" on the back. Also with the photo is another in the exact same size and format which shows a room with several beds and could be the inside of the Home - unfortunately there is no description or date on this print. John's official medal card gives his Regimental Number as 53145 and he was a Private in the Machine Gun Corps. The only other scrap of information I have, which is on the Victory and British War Medal Roll, is that he was Disembodied on 19th February 1919. Rita Boswell Add to this record.
