Pte. Robert Ernest Beazley
British Army Hampshire Regiment
from:Ryde,Isle of White
I am trying to find out which battle my grandad was injured in during WW1.
I have a copy of his honourable discharge certificate dated 1st June 1916.
I know he spent time in hospital in London and had other operations there after the war. They were unsuccessful in removing shrapnel from this injury and he died with it still embedded in his hip, aged 89.
I am not sure if he was living in Portsmouth or Ryde,Isle of Wight in 1914. I would love to know when he signed up for duty, where he was sent, and which battles he fought in, but have drawn a blank so far. Can you offer some suggestions on where I could get any of this information? Many thanks.
