Pte. Kenneth George Fathers
British Army 1/21st London (1st Surrey Rifles) 21st London Regiment
from:Croydon
Kenneth George Fathers was the brother of my Grandmother, Avice Hill nee Fathers, was wounded in the back by shell fire when advancing on the enemy sometime in April 1915. I have the returned letter from his sister marked 'wounded' which closely dates the event and also a picture of his house in south London and the street it was in. He was at pains to always remind everyone that he was not running away when he was hit. It seems that chivalry and honour was uppermost in his mind, as it was with the vast majority of our brave forefathers.
