I am my writing a book about great uncle who was a Captain in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), he served in India and Lebanon. I am waiting for his service records from MOD Glasgow and I am hoping this forum can help me find out more. He also served in the Great War with the 36th Ulster Division at the Somme.

Stephen, Hello and welcome to the Forum. My Grandfather also fought in the Great War and was called Thomas Smith, but his lungs were badly effected by a enemy gas and he died in 1943. I wish you well with your research. Regards Tom

Regards Tom Hi Smudger My great uncle suffered from Goiter and a hyper thyroid gland which he believed he got from the great war, but im struggling to find a connection. In the fifties he invented and patented new sporting rifle based on the 1914 Enfield P.14 (.303 pattern) and wrote a book despite being almost blind. So im really exited to find out what he got up to in WWII. Its a brave man to gets up off his backside to do it all again after what he witnessed in France
