My Great Grandfather, Sergeant George Bell, served in the 18th Middlesex Service Battalion in WW1. They arrived in France in November 1915 and arrived at the Somme in July taking part in the attack on High Wood where he received a gunshot wound to his elbow. He also took part in the Battle of Arras and other battles. George was sent back to the UK in September 1918 when he lost his hearing. He was then discharged as no longer fit for service.
