Sgt. Charles Alfred Betts
British Army 7th Battalion South Lancashire Regiment
from:Liverpool
Charles Alfred Betts was my grandfather. He was a private with the Prince of Wales Volunteers and was promoted Sergeant when the unit was amalgamated with the South Lancs Regiment. He saw action overseas during WW1 coming through the conflict and was discharged in 1920.
He was apparently discharged with a sickness according to his service records, but I cannot find what this sickness was, although looking at other records it seemed to be a common problem with returning personnel.
