Pte. Arthur Kember
Royal Army Medical Corps 111th Field Ambulance
from:London
Currently I have only limited information regarding my Grandfather Arthur Kember's army life, other than he served with 111th Field Ambulance as a Nursing Orderly attached to 16th (Irish) Division. He had a deep Christian conviction and started a branch of the Soldiers' Christian Association in 1918 - in later life he was to become a Baptist lay-preacher at Hawkinge Baptist Chapel, near Folkestone in Kent (this is now a private residence).
He returned to the UK and subsequently married Dorothy Annie Goodwyn on 16th August 1922 at Baptist Tabernacle, Willesden, Middlesex. My eldest daughter now wears her great-grandmother's wedding ring.
