Pte. Francis Henry Crowson
British Army 9th Btn. Essex Regiment
from:Helpston, Northants
I believe Francis Crowson (my grandfather) joined in 1914 and went through WWI leaving in 1920. A mustard gas attack affected his breathing for the rest of his life. I believe he was not recognised or mentioned at all. He was awarded the British War Medal and Victory Medal.
He later joined the home guard as a sergeant in WW11 stationed at Perkins factory in Peterborough. He died in 1955.
