Pte. Michael "Ginger" Overs
British Army Rifle Brigade
from:Spitalfields, London
My father, Michael Overs, was wounded but went back to the lines. He was born on 16th August 1890. He always told us how garlic prevented a lot of infection amongst his comrades.
He went in as a Jack-the-lad and came out a confirmed atheist and philosophical person after having to listen to all the rubbish about "God being on our side".
