Guest LeeGreensall Posted 28 January , 2004 Share Posted 28 January , 2004 Hello all, im trying to find information about my great grandfather George Greensall. All i know is on 9th October 1907( age would be 24 at this time) he was a private in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. At sometime he apparently had a steel plate put in his head. He was still alive in 1964 as i have a photo of him on my fathers wedding photo. picture below. Can anybody help. Thanks Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Carter Posted 29 January , 2004 Share Posted 29 January , 2004 Hi Lee This might be him. The name "G Greensall" Service No. 8115, Royal Warwickshire Regt., appeared twice in the Birmingham Daily Post casualty lists:- 11 Dec, 1914 Pte Wounded 25 Aug , 1916 Cpl, Wounded No battalion was given. However with the first wound being in 1914, he could have only been with the Regulars. The date is shown is not the date he was wounded, but when the names were published. The actual wound date would be approx 7 or more days before. Have you his medals to check the service number. His service papers may still survive in the PRO. If this is your grandfather, then you are in luck, the following was taken from the 'National Roll of the Great War (Birmingham)' Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
