Sgt. Lawrence Gordon Coe
British Army 10th Btn. A Coy. Lincolnshire Regiment
My Grandfather Lawrence Coe initially joined up in 1914 as a private in the Ox and Bucks rising to the rank of sergeant. At some point he was transferred to the Lincolnshire Regiment as a sergeant.
The only information that I have came from recollections of my father and research that I have undertaken.
He was wounded in the head during action on 28th of April 1917 when he was a Sergeant with A Company 10th Lincolns, at Roeux where he was taken prisoner and sent to Langensalza Pow camp he was, as a result of his wound, ultimately interned in Switzerland.
He lost his left eye as a result of the wound and suffered throughout the remainder of his life with head pains.
His name is recorded in the publication produced at the end of the war of all personnel of London County Council who served during The Great War.
