A/Cpl. Alfred George Perryman

British Army Royal Army Medical Corps

from:Horsham, Sussex

Alfred Perryman joined up on the 30th October 1906 aged 18 and was sent to India. In 1911 he was shown on the census as being in Egypt. However he was in India in August 1914, and sailed to Britain, landing at Devonport on 18th of November 1914. They suffered badly as they still had there tropical uniforms. They were then moved to Magdalen Hill near Winchester and sent to France on 20th of December 1914. The 4th Battalion was sent to Salonika in November 1915 but Alfred appears to have stayed in France according to his record card. My father, his son, has said he was gassed in 1917 and was awarded the Silver War Badge No.246749, but as records missing we cannot find anything else so far. He was awarded 'pip,squeak and wilfred' medals. He also joined the RAMC in WW2.
