Pte. Robert Grieveson
British Army Royal Army Medical Corps
from:Whitburn, Durham
My father, Bob Grieveson was in the Northumberland Fusiliers and was in the trenches early on in France. Like many soldiers he suffered from the German Gas. He was brought aboard the Jan Breydel Hospital Ship to be sent home to recover and then return to active duty. However, the Captain on board ship heard him playing the piano in the lounge and was so impressed with his playing that he had dad transferred immediately to the RMAC and kept him on board for the duration of the war in order to entertain the troops.
Later on when the war was over my father and Dr. Hazzard (Captain) both immigrated to Toronto, Canada and Dr. Hazzard delivered myself and my sister in the thirties.
