George Swann, 3rd Worcestershire Regiment in 1915

My grandfather George Swann served in the First World War in France with the 3rd Worcestershire Regiment. I know very little of his battles, but he fought on the Somme and returned home minus all of his toes and spent a long time in hospital in recovery. In 1922, he jumped on a runaway horse which had bolted and killed a six year old girl in the road. He managed to stop the horse but injured his legs badly and spent more time in hospital. Always a hero to me, he lived to 70 years and died in 1960.
