Sgt. Brown Webster
British Army 1st Battalion Scots Guards
from:Preston,Lancs
Brown Webster was my husband's grandfather. He enlisted in the Scots Guards on 5th November 1914, lying about his age. He was actually 16. He was sent to France on 6th April 1916 and was promoted to Sergeant on 10th October 1916. He was wounded and sent home on 10th August 1917. He was treated (we believe) for shrapnel wounds in Endell St Hospital in London and was then declared unfit for further service. He was discharged from the reserve battalion in 1919. He became a draper after the war but died in 1930 aged 32.
