Cpl. Bertie Rye
British Army Pioneer Corps
from:Downham Market
Bertie Rye was my grand father. He was wounded at Gallipoli during the Great War.
He re-enlisted in the Pioneer Corps in the Second World War aged 44. Was captured by the Germans, but escaped and then served with Monty.
I am currently trying to research more of his history, a little difficult as I live now in Australia. I'd love to get more info on the 1/4th during World War 1 as I would like to build a history for his future generations to be aware of.
