Rfm. Charles Elvin Giles

British army 7th Battalion, B Coy, No.6 section King`s Royal Rifle Corps

from:131 Ladytwell Road

I am in possession of my father's army pay book and note book in which he has listed the men in his section,as follows:

    Number 6 section B coy
  • 8207 L/sgt. Lane L
  • R?986Cpl ?
  • R6264 L/cpl Giles C
  • R13492 Rfl. Adams. A
  • R18696 Rfl. Albam ?
  • R34487 Rfl. ??ing
  • R27375 Rfl. Lemon
  • R18040 Rfl. Butler
  • R21664 Rfl.Austin
  • R13104 Rfl. Lacy.C
  • Rl1731 Rfl. Lee.H
He also lists the soldiers in Sections 5,7 and 8 if these are of any interest I can send them on.

I am seeking the relevant war diary covering my father's service. I can tell you he was wounded twice.On one of these occasions whilst convalescing he was sent to Ireland to help with the Troubles there. I remember him saying he would prefer to have been in France where you could be shot from the front and not in the back!
