Robert Edward Davies
British Army 9th Btn. York and Lancaster Regiment
My grandfather, Robert Davies said he served with the young and lovelies, Yorks and Lancaster's at Hill 60. He lost a the top off his finger and whilst at hospital used to pour boiling water over the stump, to make it look infected so that he would be able to stay out of the trenches for a bit longer. I remember as a child asking him if he ever captured any Germans. Yes he said I was on my own going down a trench, came to a corner, when I went round a met a German. What happened then grandad? oh he said the German surrendered before I could.
