Pte. Arthur William Barber

British Army East Yorkshire Regiment

from:104 Olive Road, Cricklewood

My grandfather, who had moved to America to find employment a couple of years earlier, felt compelled to fight for England in WWI. He returned to England and enlisted with the Royal Engineers on 20th October 1916. He was transferred to the East Yorkshire Regiment for a short time. While with this regiment he sustained a severe gunshot wound to his back, but survived. He was transferred to the Royal Engineers and served proudly through until 25th March 1919.
