L/Cpl. Robert Husband
British Army 5th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Ripon
Robert Husband (my grandfather) died in 1938 as a result of injuries sustained during the First World War.
The news article printed at the time of his death says, "In the Great War Mr Husband joined up with the first batch of the 5th Battalion the West Yorkshire Regiment, and after 21 successive days in the front line during the Battle of the Somme he was badly wounded in the wrist, which turned septic. He was also gassed. He was in hospital in London for a year and for three months at Becketts Park, Leeds after which he was discharged at Ripon."
