Sgt. Herbert Edwin Gough
British Army Wiltshire Regiment
from:Calne, Wiltshire
My late husband, Herbert Gough, was working in London when World War 1 broke out. He was 15 years old but put his age up to 18 years and joined the Wiltshire regiment.
He fought at the Battle of the Somme he later was a Sergeant in the Military Police. He was one of only two survivors out of 17 young men who joined from his village.
