Rick617 Posted 11 March Share Posted 11 March We are trying to gather some information on Lt Wallace J Rice who was attached to the 1st East Anglia Field Ambulance who was on active service in Gallipoli and the Western Front. My wife's grandfather Staff Sergeant Henry Blackwell served alongside Lt Rice in Gallipoli. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
