244439 Pte. Nathan Farbe British Army 8th Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment from:London My grandfather Nathan Farbe left Russia and came to England some short time before the First World War. He lived in London. In 1916 he joined the British Army. He served in France from the later stages of the Battle of the Somme and continued on the western front through the 3rd Battle of Ypres. He saw out the war on the Italian front. He was demobbed in Malta. In 1919 he was awarded Britain citizenship. His naturalisation papers contain a curious point. He had come to Britain from Lodz which before the war was Russian but after Versailles became Poland. His papers have his nationality as Russian crossed out and replaced with Polish. I am very proud of my grandfather who came as a refugee and fought for Britain.
