Sgt. Archibald Hood
British Army 2/4th Btn. Royal Scots Fusiliers
from:Kilmarnock
My Grandfather Archibald Hood was serving in the regular army before the First World War started. He enlisted on 14th March 1911 aged 17. He was a Sergeant when he fought in the war. I know very little about his wartime experiences as he never really spoke about them. From his army pay book, it shows that he was shot twice. Once in the leg on 22nd September 1917. He also sustained a shell injury to his lip on 25th of March 1918. He used to say that the bullet went in through his lip and out of his neck, missing all his vital organs.
