Gnr. Edwin Atherton Vernon
British Army 77th Seige Bty. Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Manchester
I have been given the diaries that my great grandfather, Vernon Atherton, compiled during 1916-1917. They can be difficult to read given they were written in pencil. I also have his whistle.
There are only two locations of note that I have found to date and they are from his Army Pay Received in France records, they are Bouvac and Sailly au Bois.
After the war he became a police officer in Manchester reaching the rank of chief inspector and he died in service.
