224084 Sgt. Daniel William Berryman British Army Cheshire Regiment from:Altrincham, Cheshire Daniel William Berryman of the Cheshire Regiment was my grandfather and he served in the middle east, Gallipoli, he was in the evacuation of the Dardanelles and was wounded in Egypt and left where he was found and rescued by Australian cavalry and taken to hospital. He also served in France, where he was gassed in the trenches. He survived the Great War and served in the home guard I in Altrincham, Cheshire as a Sgt. in World War 2. I have all his World War 1 medals and the literature he posted home from Eygpt, such as letters and hand-drawn Christmas cards to his wife and family. My son now attends the dawn service on Anzac day here in Renmark, South Australia and wears my grandfather's medals with pride. He also attends and wears the medals on other important memorial days.
