233553 Pte. Fred Wilson British Army 21st Btn., Platoon B Coy King's Royal Rifle Corps from:Port Sunlight Fred Wilson was my father. He was wounded in 1916 with shrapnel in his head. He had an operation and they put a silver coin in his head. He was offered a pension, he used to say of 8/6d per week, or a lump sum of £80. He took the pension and lived until he was 76. He always said it was the best decision he had made. He spoke very little about the war, he lost a brother, George Wilson, and his name is on the war memorial in St Barnabas Church in Bromborough, Wirral. I have a platoon photo, presumably taken after training in Aldershot, which is too big to scan.
