1578 2nd Lt. Norman Nunns British Army 1/21st Btn. London Regiment from:Brockley Norman Nunns was my grandfather; he was apparently a marksman and used to train men in sharpshooting. He was initially turned down for active service, on account of TB; He was commissioned in March 1917. I'm not sure whether he served in the Battle of Messines, though it seems likely that he must have done. He was wounded at Passchendaele on 16th August 1917 and was apparently rescued from open ground by his batman. He successfully applied for a War Wound Gratuity and also received the Silver War Badge. He was promoted to Lt on the 28th of September 1918 but did not recover sufficiently to return to active service. He was medically discharged on the 21st of October 1919.
