Pte. Arthur Winmill Skinner
British Army North Somerset Yeomanry
from:Bath, Somerset
My Father Arthur Skinner joined the North Somerset Yeomanry in 1914 when he was 15. He spoke very little about the war. I have a photo of him in hospital blues in 1919 and I assume he was still suffering from a mustard gas attack though I don't know when that happened, perhaps when he'd been transferred to the Somerset Light Infantry sometime in August 1918. I wish I knew more. He died in 1964.
