Robert Woods was my grandfather. He enlisted in the 6th Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment at Preston on 7th of November 1914 stating his age as 19 although his real age was just 17. He fought with the battalion at Gallipoli where he was wounded and invalided out to Mudros and later back to home. He then saw active service on the Western Front with the 1st Battalion where he was subsequently wounded again in April 1918. He was awarded the Victory Medal and the 1915 Star.
