2nd Lt. Waide Reginald Worrall
British Army 8th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment
from:99 Wynyard Road, Sheffield
Reg Worrall was my father's brother-in-law. He volunteered at the outbreak of war and served as a stretcher bearer with 1/3rd West Riding Field Ambulance until 1917 when he was selected for officer training.
He became a 2nd Lt in 8th Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment. He was posted to France in April 1918 and transferred to the 5th DLI and saw action with 151st Trench Mortar Battery. On 27th May he was wounded in both arms and both legs and captured near Craonne. After a spell in hospital in Germany he was transferred to Karlsruhe POW camp. He was then removed to Kampstigall POW camp near Konigsburg on the Baltic Sea. He was repatriated to England in 1919.
