Pte. Albert Edward Harrison
British Army 25th Battalion Middlesex Regiment
from:Cliffe, Kent
My grandfather, Albert Edward Harrison, born 1882 in Kent and served in the 25th Middlesex Regiment.
We know he went to Hong Kong possibly April 1917 to relieve more hardened soliders from duty. I think it was like a labour regiment that was raised. He then went to Russia during the revolution late 1917 or early 1918. Then returned to England in 1919.
What medals he had have disappeared through the family in recent years. All I have is his cap badge. He returned to live back in Kent as a farm labourer and passed away in 1957.
We have tried very hard to trace anything that relates to him but his records may have been amongst a major fire of First World War records.
Hope there is further information to come to light.
