Pvt. Cecil Tooley
16th London Regiment, Queen's Westminster Rifles
from:Great Yarmouth, England
I have very little information regarding my Dad's wartime experiences. He was loath to talk about it, at least when I was a child. He did mention Gommecourt, in France at one time, and I believe he was part of the forces with General Allenby during the campaign in the mid-east. My Uncle Harry Tooley also served in the British Army but I have no details. Another Uncle, Walter Tooley, was a Royal Marine but again I have no information. Another Uncle. Clifford William Tooley was killed in December 1917 during the Passchendaele campaign.
