L/Cpl. Alfred Henry Grieves
British Army 24th Btn. London Regiment
from:Broxholme Road ,London
Alfred Grieves served in France from August 1916 as a Gas NCO. I have in my poseasion his 1916 Diary. The entries stop in September 1916 as a piece of ball shrapnel has embedded itself in the diary and bent a .303 round which was in a clip in L/Cpl Grieves breast pocket preventing serious injury and possibly death. Grieves went on to serve as a captain in the 31st County of London ( Streatham) Home Guard in WW2
