Pte. John William Scott Harrison
British Army 7th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:South Shields
My Great Grandfather, John William Harrison served in the early days of WW1 as he enlisted 5 Sep 1914 and was wounded (shot in the face)sometime around 1915-1916. He was discharged on 24 Apr 1916 due to wounds. There are photos of him that clearly show his face being disfigured and from family it was said he was never the same man. I have found his silver badge and medal rolls card but have had no luck finding his pension or service records (Burned during WWII?).
