Forgotten HeroI've just put a new 3rd cousin on my Family Tree, John William Sabey born in Huntingdonshire in 1884. He was called up in 1916 and sent to France. Towards the end of Sept 1918 he was wounded 5 times in just 4 days!
The 1st 4 were dealt with on the front line & straight back into action. the 5th was a shrapnel wound to the thigh, off to the Casualty Clearing Station and then the Field Hospital for 12 weeks.
In spite of all this he lived to be 101, one tough old bird!
