Sgt. Thomas Charles Benton
British Army 9th Battalion Green Howards
from:Middlesborough
My grandfather Thomas Barton joined up on the 31st of August 1914. He was wounded on or about the 7th of July 1916, receiving gunshot wounds left arm and right ankle shrapnel to right foot. The damage to his foot was so severe that after a year in hospital he was discharged unfit for further active duty.
