My Grandad Frederick Lewis Bond served with Royal Navy in Devonport from 1914 to 1915 then went into 1/7th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment to back up troops of the regiment that lost their lives on the Somme. His dad Abraham James Bond was with the 3rd Reserve Battalion that did all the training of the troops ready to go to the war so he probably trained is own son. He was shot and blown up in France and Flanders but survived the war, coming home at the end of 1918.
He worked in a factory in Coventry called Courtalds for about a year then he rejoined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment again in 1919 and stayed in until 1923. He then left the Royal Warwicks and joined the 5th Pack Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery at Warwick on the 20/4/1923 as a gunner, aged 28 years 353 days. He went to Helmieh in Egypt with the RGA and was discharged on 8/10/1925 at Dover.
