Dvr. Alexander Bain . British Army from England

Alexander Bain . ARP from Leeds My Grandfather, Alexander Bain served with the 1st Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment.
I still have his campaign and Victory medals and regimental cap badge.
He suffered from mustard gas but went on to work in the LNER railways in York and was a very active member of the ARP in WW2 and St Johns Ambulance between the wars.
He went on to live to nearly 80 but never talked about his experiences to me as a child, sure this is true of many veterans.
