Sgt. George Axtell
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Aston Clinton, Bucks
George Axtell, my wife's great grandfather, broke his arm "running and slipping on duck boards in a trench" on Christmas Eve in 1918 (I just hope he was having fun!).
He was taken to 12 Stationary Hospital in St Pol, near Arras, and from their to the Military Convalescant Hospital, Woldingham from where he was discharged in 1919
