Pte. Sidney Victor Belson

British Army 2/7th Btn. Durham Light Infantry

from:Cippenham, Bucks

This man was my great grandfather. He was posted to the 20th DLI at the beginning of July 1917 and remained there until demobbed. He was a runner and a bugle boy. Having enlisted in 1915 he was sent to the 2/7th DLI until being sent overseas in 1916. His service record shows several postings but only the one to the 20th is eligable. A family legend says he once ended up fighting with a Kent regiment and another that he was not allowed to return to his unit as they had been wiped out by gas.
