217822 Pte. Arthur William Theobald British Army Essex Regiment from:Great Wigborough, Colchester,Essex. I never met my Grandfather Arthur William Theobald,but knew that he had served in the First World War. He enlisted at Colchester in Essex on 28th November 1914. He served 3 years and 332 days. As far as I have been informed his position took a direct hit from a German shell.All his mates were killed but somehow he survived. He had a gunshot wound to his right arm and had to have part his right leg amputated. Am not sure but think he was wounded at The Somme. I have just the one photo of him although not in his uniform, it shows one of his medals and his silver badge.
