Pte. Henry John Wheatley
British Army 3rd Btn. Wiltshire Regiment
from:Birmingham
My grandfather, Harry Wheatley, served in the Boer War as Private with the 4th Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment Militia. Then with the 3rd Battalion Wiltshire Rgt. Reserve, in WW1.
Born 1880, he died 1953 when he was murdered at the age of 73 yrs in Birmingham. I do not know anything about the 3rd Battalion Wiltshire Regiment. I know he was gassed somewhere and was downgraded in fitness and was transferred into the ASC Mechanical Transport in 1917. He landed in France in May 1915.
