L/Sjt. Charles Keay
British Army 1st Battalion North Staffs Regiment
from:Knightley, Staffordshire
Charles Keay was my Grandfather and he enlisted in the North Staffordshire Regiment in 1910, so he was amongst the first to be sent to France. He managed to survive until the North Staffords were sent to Delville Wood in August 1916, where there was heavy fighting and he sustained a serious shrapnel wound. He was hospitalised and sent back to Cork in Ireland and didn't have to return to the front. He was honorably discharged in 1919.
