Rflmn. Arthur Edward Felix
British Army 11th Btn. King's Royal Rifle Corps
from:Camberwell
My grandfather, Arthur Felix, joined the 11th KRRC, I think during the last stages of the 1918 war. He was greatly affected by the memories and often had nightmares, so my mother says.
He would tell me about the trench foot and how horrible gas attacks were but otherwise he did not say much about his experiences. He was a good tailor and he said he would often alter friends' uniforms, so that they would fit better because army policy was 'one size fits all'. He died in 1976.
This is a short account but still relevant to us as a family.
