Pte. Edward Francis Fowell
British Army Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Broadstairs, Kent
My grandad, Eddie Fowell, always said he was sent to the front for borrowing a weekend pass. He enlisted with the Queens Royal Regiment (West Surrey) and at some point he was transferred into the Lincolnshire Regiment. He was wounded by shrapnel on 9th of April 1918, age 21, whilst stretcher-bearing in or around the churchyard at Bailleul in France.
Eddie survived the war and died aged 88 in 1986.
