206445 Thomas Wilson British Army from:Boothstown My grandfather, Thomas Wilson was born in 1883 in York. From word of mouth I believe he worked in the coal mines of Lancashire near Boothstown when he was called up for service in WWI, probably in 1916, or maybe 1917, when he was about 33. He was sent to fight in France. He was injured and sent back to a hospital in Lincoln, I believe the 4th Northern General Hospital. He recovered and took his wife and babies back to Boothstown in Lancashire before the war ended. I don't think he did anything heroic. But he lived, and I would like to find out his injuries, his regiment and anything else about him that is on file somewhere.
