257626 Pte. Arthur Edgar Kirton British Army D Coy. 6th Btn. Leicestershire Regiment from:South Carlton, Lincolnshire My Grandfather, Arthur Kirton, of the 6th Battalion, Leicestershire Regiment, was badly wounded and subsequently captured on the morning of the 21st of March 1918 at Epehy, the very morning of the beginning of the German Spring Offensive of 1918. A search of the ICRC records revealed that he was at Soltau POW Camp when the ICRC visited the camp in August of 1918 and the records show that at that time he was still suffering with his shoulder as a result of his severe wounds. My Grandfather lived until 1986 dying at the age of 87. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
