Drvr. Charles Joseph Seston
British Army 7th Divisional Ammunition Column Royal Field Artillery
from:Aston, Birmingham
Charles Seson was a seasoned soldier by the time World War I broke out. He was married with a daughter. He experienced the worst of Ypres, the Somme and Loos. Riding the horses, as he had before becoming a soldier, only this time dragging cannon behind him. He was found in 1917 wandering around no mans land in Passchendaele in a state of total disassociation. Had he been found like this only months before he would have been shot for leaving his post for cowardice, but thankfully shellshock was now recognised and his PTSD was highly evident.
