Description: | Photocopied ts transcription (39pp), together with a later edited word processed version (30pp), of a dictated account covering his service with the RAMC during the First World War, describing in a rather general and disjointed way his witnessing from a distance of the landings at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli (6 August 1915), the scenes which greeted him when landing at Anzac Cove, where he served as a stretcher bearer for No 13 Casualty Clearing Station, his evacuation in December 1915 to Alexandria via Mudros, and then service in France on the Somme (July 1916) and in Belgium at Ypres (late 1917). The account includes details of his childhood in London, his career as a banker following the First World War, and his Home Guard service in the Second World War.
