205090 Pte. Richard Henry Glover British Army Royal West Kent Regiment from:10 Brackley St Warrington Lancashire I have a photocopy of the Warrington Guardian newspaper of 7th September 1918 which refers to Richard Glover, my paternal grandfather, as having been "seriously wounded in the back and right arm and is now a patient in the Mayor of Hereford's home. He was wounded on August 27th and arrived in England on the 31st.Private Glover when barely 16 years of age enlisted in one of the Border regiments, but on his age becoming known he was sent home. When he reached military age he again joined up in January 1918. He went to the front 3 months ago. He was educated at the Parochial School, was a regular attender at St George's Mission, and was employed by the Vernon Street Tanning Co."
