Samuel Turner
British Army Queens Own Royal West Surrey Regiment
I'm searching for details of my paternal Grandfather Samuel Turner and his brothers, Arthur and Stanley. I have a photo of Arthur and Stanley. The photo of Stanley indicates from his hat badge that he was in the Queens Own Royal West Surrey Regiment and we believe all three brothers joined together so would probably have enlisted in the same regiment. The photo of Arthur indicates he was in the Royal Artillery by his hat band, was the an artillery battalion in the West Surrey. I believe at least Stanley was in the 10th Battalion and all three brothers were in the Battle of the Somme and went "over the top". Stanley and Arthur never survived the war but have so far been unable to trace a records of their deaths. By Grandfather Samuel was gassed but survived a very embittered man, who threw his medals away in disgust at the terrible loss and awful treatment he and his fellow men had suffered. I have pictures of all three brothers and intend to pursue what happened to my Great Uncles but if there is any help or information from anyone it would be much appreciated.
