Pte. Arthur Douglas
British Army 56th MT Company Army Service Corps
from:West Hartlepool
(d.10th Oct 1918)
Arthur Douglas was my Great Great Grandfather. He came home on leave, conceived my Great Grandmother and returned to France and was killed before ever meeting his daughter.
We found him through the CWGC and took my Great Grandma out to his grave shortly before she passed away.
He was a driver in the ASC and was badly wounded when his truck laden with ammunition exploded when it was hit by shellfire. He subsequently died in a Canadian casualty clearing station at Duisans. We have visited it several times and have taken our children there to keep his memory alive.
