Family illness kept him out of war until Sept 1915 when he joined the Royal Field Artillery.

Alexander Midghall was my great grand uncle. According to the unit war diary, Alexander was buried alive along with 3 others after a German ariel torpedo blew up next to the bastion they were manning and caved in. Another unit provided relief and he was dug out about 4 or 5 days later. Remarkably, one of the men survived being buried for that amount of time. His name was Pte William Battley. Although several variations in the spelling of his name in the various diaries is evident, I am almost certain that this is the correct spelling due to other sources.
