211363 Pte. Harry William Tulk British Army Dorsetshire Regiment from:Hanford, Dorset My Grandfather Harry Tulk served in WW1 with the Dorsetshire Regiment on the Western Front. I do not know which battalion he was in but can say that he joined up on 28/8/1916, having been exempt before that time. He was injured three times and sent back to Southampton Hospital on each occasion.
Although the distance between Blandford and Southampton is not far these days, my grandmother never saw him until 1919 when he was released from hospital after the war ended. My mother always said that the last time my grandfather was injured was the worst time. He had been left for dead after being shot in the chest. A burial party had gone out and had all of the dead ready to bury when one man noticed that my grandfather was still breathing. He was returned to Southampton and was still in the hospital on 11 November 1918.
Additional Information: | After a lot of research i have found out my grandfather Harry William Tulk was injured about the 7th of November 1918. He served in the 1st and 5th Dorset regiment, He was Pte 24153 and was placed on reserve list 1/4/1919.
I would like to have some idea of where he would have been fighting
