239808 Pte. Samuel Seacy British Army 15th Btn. Royal Scots from:Edinburgh My great uncle Samuel Seacy wrote a letter home on 3rd of May 1917 when he was out for a rest and I'm trying to find out what specific action from the Battle of Arras he was referring to. He wrote: ... "We came out on the 1st; we were about 130 so we had some left out of about 900 - not so bad (ironic comment I assume!). We were cut off and had to fight for it, the others were taken or killed. It was awful - talk about Mons. It was hell Piddy (nickname of his sister, my grandmother) so don't tell mother. I thank God I got out - they were killing the wounded..." Great Uncle Samuel was injured on 28th of August 1917 with what was described as "gunshot, severe". Grateful for any information you can provide on Samuel's service history and details on the action he would have been participating in when he was wounded.
