Pte. Ernest Thompson
British Army 16th (Chatsworth Rifles) Btn. Sherwood Foresters
from:Kings Newton
Ernest Thompson was wounded by gun shot to his left arm on 25th of March 1918. The medical records I have says `on the Amiens front'. He had four operations to save it but was amputated on the 5th at the South African No.1 Hospital. I have no photo of my brave great uncle, but I am so pleased to have all his army records and his hospital records as well. He was taken back to England on the Cambria were he was fitted with an artificial limb at Roehampton. Unfortunately I never met him.
