Pte. Arthur Kember

Royal Army Medical Corps 111th Field Ambulance

from:London

Currently I have only limited information regarding my Grandfather Arthur Kember's army life, other than he served with 111th Field Ambulance as a Nursing Orderly attached to 16th (Irish) Division. He had a deep Christian conviction and started a branch of the Soldiers' Christian Association in 1918 - in later life he was to become a Baptist lay-preacher at Hawkinge Baptist Chapel, near Folkestone in Kent (this is now a private residence).

He returned to the UK and subsequently married Dorothy Annie Goodwyn on 16th August 1922 at Baptist Tabernacle, Willesden, Middlesex. My eldest daughter now wears her great-grandmother's wedding ring.

Dear Dorothy - Just to let you know I have got to Folkestone safely and expect to cross today. Would have liked to see you this morning but it is best otherwise. I feel very fed up just at present. Will write soon. Much Love Arthur
