gas at Bailleul December 1915
« on: Sunday 09 December 07 21:58 GMT (UK) »
My father was eventually discharged from the army because of a condition "caused probably as a result of gas at Bailleul in December 1915". He was then with the Royal Army Medical Corps.
I wonder if there is the possibility that someone here has a similar story or has information about this particular gas attack.
Many thanks.
Tony :D

Hello Tony,

This is the only link I have been able to find so far:

Apologies for it being such a mouthful, but I haven't learnt how to shorten them yet.  :-[

Was it the 19th Dec 1915 ? The 1/4th West Ridings and other 49th Div troops were hit by Gas on that date?
Lowe(Lower Gornall-Castleford)
Blackburn (Castleford)
Sidwell(Ledsham)
Fairburn(Hartshead)
Wood(Liversedge)
Tallon (Whittington Lancs/Hartshead West Yorkshire)

Researching all Great War soldiers from the Spen Valley of West Yorkshire Especially lads from the Cleckheaton Company of 1/4th West Riding Regiment.
