Pte. Charles John Crampton
British Army 1st Btn. Wiltshire Regiment
from:Twickenham
My grandfather, Charles John Crampton, was a school teacher who joined the army aged 38, which seems quite late for someone in a profession to be joining up. He joined the Army Cycle Corps which again seems an unusual unit to join at that age.
I have inherited his war diary which tells us of some of his comrades who were injured or killed in WW1 between June 1916 and 26th Jan 1919.
I would like to learn more about him as I never knew him.
