204627 Sjt. Edward Harold Westley British Army 8th Btn. Middlesex Regiment from:London My father, Ted Westley, served with the 8th Middlesex and was also in the Lancashire Fusiliers. As I am a retired invalid I spend a great deal of time building my family tree and would like to get as much info on my Dad as possible. I think he was awarded medals but have no info on them. All I do know is he was at the Somme and Ypres and was badly wounded in the chest. When he came home he later became instructor at Hounslow TA. Centre I also remember he won the Bisley shot one year but cannot confirm this. He did try to get sign up in the second war at the age of 40. but owing to his job they would not let him. One thing I know is he loved every bit of his service.
