Pte. John William Garside
British Army 1st Btn., B Coy Cameronians Scottish Rifles
from:Manchester
My grandad was John Garside known as Jack. Recently we have discovered his war medals and were fortunate enough that one had his service number engraved on the reverse. I wasn't aware that he served in WW1 as he passed away in 1963, long before I was born. With thanks to the National Archives I have been able to establish that he was discharged as he suffered a shell wound to his left foot on 19th of July 1917.
Currently I am trying to ascertain where the battalion were located at this time. If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
