Pte Joseph Reginald Riggs
British Army 8th Battalion East Surrey Regiment
from:Bognor Regis, West Sussex
Joseph Reginald Riggs is my paternal grandfather. He died in 1972. Joseph served in WW1 as a soldier in France. My dad says Joseph never spoke of his time in France. It must have been a terrible time for them all.
In WW2 Joseph served as part of the local Home Guard. He was very proud of this role. I was 12 when my granddad died and I can remember him very clearly. He was a quiet, wiry man with piercing blue eyes. He loved his garden and grew many vegetables.
