Edwin Foster
British Army Royal Army Medical Corps
from:Burnley
Father Edwin Foster served in the Royal Army Medical Corps and lived in Burnley at the time, previously Wigan. I know he served in Salonika during the First World War. The only story he told us as children was of a man being brought in from the field with a bad leg injury and all that had saved him were the maggots eating his rotting flesh. He lost his leg and the maggots were put back on to prevent Gangrene.
