My Grandfather William James Wells served throughout the Great war as a private in the Coldstream Guards 1st Battalion. After basic training at Aldershot he was sent to France and served in most of the great battles such as Mons, Marne and the Somme campaign. He was wounded and hospitalized due to shrapnel but returned to the front soon after. He also served in the Home Guard during the second world war.
