Hi there, does anyone have any information on Gunner John Rochford? His C.O was Capt Goldstein. My grandfather served from September 1917 until the end of the war. All I know was that he was on the 9.2 Howitzers, got trench feaver in December 1917 and treated in Bologne, given leave to Ireland, then was sent to support Gen Goughs 5th Army BEF which was overun by the German Stormtroopers. Any information gratefully received. On the day of armistice after the siezefire he was receiving Catholic mass on the front when a shell landed meters away killing the man next to him, my grandfather receiving shrapnel wounds to his back but luckily survived to be 82.
