216853 Pte. Joseph Sydney Epps British Army 7th Btn. Wiltshire Regiment from:Goodnestone, Kent My granddad Joseph Sydney Epps joined the 7th Battalion Wiltshire Regiment at the age of 21 in 1914. He didn't talk about the war but I spent many happy late afternoons with him after school. I have his war medals and his silver name tag that I think he would have worn while fighting in France. He suffered from a very bad chest infection and I'm not sure if this was due to being gassed during the war. My mum asked me to look into where his regiment fought during the war because she recalled that he said he went to Italy. After researching the movements of the 7th Wilts I think it would have been Greece. My mum has a photo of my granddad in his uniform.
