My grandfather, Thomas Marshall, enlisted on the 7th of August 1914 aged 18. He was blown up and buried several times and gassed. He was discharged, unfit for service, in March 1916. He was severely affected by shell shock and continued to spend periods of time in the Epsom Hospitals. He suffered all his life with the after effects and with tuberculosis contracted in the trenches. He died of TB in 1964.
