Title: Wounded soldier - any records
Post by: whitej on Friday 15 June 18 13:42 BST (UK)
My great uncle Robert Bach was wounded in WW1 and spent time in Queen Alexandra's Military Hospital At Millbank.

Looking for any information about him at this time.

Is this 8337 R Bach Scots Guards who deserted in 1917 and was tried by District Court martial?
