Dvr. Charles Simmonds
British Army 271 Bde. A Bty Royal Field Artillery

This is a picture of my great uncle Charles Simmonds taken in 1915, when he was 20 years of age. He was a driver in the The 54th (East Anglian) Division.
The Divisional Artillery remained in England when the Division moved to Gallipoli. It moved independently to France in November 1915 coming under the command of 33rd Division. Officers and men were attached to the Divisional Artillery of the 2nd, 7th and 12th Divisions. It moved to Egypt and rejoined the Division in Egypt in February 1916.
I don't know too much about him, other than he lived to a ripe old age.
