L/Cpl Thomas James Welsh
Army 1st Btn. Kings Loyal Lancashire Regiment
from:Dove St, Lodge Lane, Liverpool.
My Grandfather Thomas James Welsh was in the 1st Battalion Kings Loyal Lancashire regiment, a Liverpool lad. As a boy I would ask him about his war experience and it would always upset him. but he did say that he was a lewis gunner and he was shot in the neck with the bullet passing straight through his back. It was the germans who recovered him and he remembers waking up in a german field hospital with a german male medic saying to him in good english "dont worry Tommy your war's over now" which I have always thought is quite a compassionate thing to say to the enemy. He was imprisoned for the rest of the war I believe in Germany and Holland.
