249289 Pte. James Arthur Crosby British Army Lincolnshire Regiment from:Essex My great grandfather Arthur Crosby born Nov 1885 in Stratford, Essex, died Sept 1968 in Braintree, Essex. I have been researching our family tree and found Arthur’s medal rolls index card showing that he was in the Lincolnshire Regiment during the Great War. I’ve tried to find military records of him elsewhere online but have struggled, I read that the Labour Corps records were destroyed in a fire so maybe there are no other records of him. I know the Silver Ward Badge was awarded to people injured and sent home but would love to know where he was sent (if anywhere) and what his injury was. He married my great grandmother in 1915, had his first child in 1917 and second in 1919 so was obviously in England during the war years, maybe only 1914 he was away. I’d appreciate any help with finding info about Arthur. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
