L/Cpl. W. Bailey
British Army 4th Btn. King's Royal Rifle Corps
L/Cpl. Bailey appears to have been sent to Holmfirth Auxiliary Military Hospital possibly via Royds Hall or Huddersfield War Hospital to recover from his injuries.
A poem he wrote is an entry in the Holmfirth Auxiliary Military Hospital Album on 17/6/1916. This is currently held and is on display at the Tolson Museum, Huddersfield.
The poem appears to be inscribed on the date that Lance Corporal W Bailey was discharged.
