Pte. John Daniels

British Army No 4 Veterinary Hospital Army Veterinary Corps

from:East Ilsley, Berkshire

John Daniels was attested at Woolwich on 11th August 1915 in the AVC and posted to Woolwich as a Horse Keeper. He was in France from 15th September 1915. On 24th August 1917 he was at No 4 Veterinary Hospital in France. He sustained an injury to the ring and little finger of his right hand. He was accompanying a horse, the charger of Captain W G Green, to the front in a horse truck on a train. Rough shunting at Fontinet caused horse and man to lose their footing and they both fell, causing his injuries. On demobilisation on 14th March 1919 he was transferred to the Z Reserve.

I have not found where Fontinet is, and where the Veterinary Hospital was.
