Cecil was in the Territorials so the 5th Battalion and served all through the war and was wounded two or three times. He was my grandfather, Robert Mockford’s, half brother. I remember him as a quiet old gentleman who had a couple of twisted bayonets that he used as candle holders in the trenches so he could read.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this extra information about Cecil. Kind Regards, Kieron.
