Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry

[Guest ptinley]

I'm new to this site so please forgive any naivette.

My grandfather Charles Tinley served with the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, during the 1st World War (number 18161) and was apparently shot in both legs. Apparently he was three days on the battlefield before the stretcher bearers found him, at one time pretending to be dead when a German patrol passed by'. The Question is fact or heresay?

Charles served at the rank of private and first entered the theatre of war in France on 30th September 1915. There is no mention of injury on the Medal Rolls, he is was entitled to 1914/15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. Would any members know how best to research Grandad Tinley.

I would be most interested in any information relating to his regiment at this time.
