History of Wigan (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Geraldine,
Thank you. This is very helpful. My Grandad's injury was severe - he lost the use of his arm - so it seems reasonable at this stage to assume his time to discharge was similar to your Grandfather's, about six months. The reason I'm investigating is that I know my Grandad fought throughout 1916, and it now appears he fought through 1917 as well. I can follow his battalion history and add this to our family history. Thanks for taking the time to reply,
Regards,
Peter.
