2406: Sapper Herbert Goldwyn Clayton

online resource

posted on 2024-01-16, 17:20 authored by Lest We Forget Project Team

This is part of a letter from Sapper Herbert Goldwyn Clayton of the 88th Field Company Royal Engineers. It gives a very detailed history of where the BEF travelled around Mesopotamia. There is an amusing anecdote regarding corned beef being in a museum 100 years later. Herbert survived WW1 and later opened a sweet shop in Hunslet, Leeds.
