World War One / 'Sandbagged' in Egypt
« on: Monday 07 December 09 11:05 GMT (UK) »
Hi all
My g/grandfather served in ww1. The family story is that he was sandbagged while on duty outside an ammunition store in Egypt then left in the desert for 2 days. He did survive though he suffered with very bad head problems for the rest of his life.
Could anyone help me by clarifying 'sandbagged'? Does it mean he was coshed?
Unfortunately the only picture i have of him is in a ww1 hospital and the uniform has no badges etc on it.
Many thanks for looking
