206161 Pte. Lewis Ainsworth Whitmore British Army Durham Light Infantry from:Leeds My father, Lewis Whitmore was born in 1898 and was very young when he went to war as others were. We are trying to determine where he went during the war. He served with the Durham Light Infantry and the 258 Graduated Training Reserve Battalion which is an obscure one and as yet we do not know exactly where he served, but he was gassed during the war ending his service and he later died of lung disease, leaving a wife and very young son, my father. We hope soon to shed more light on his life.
