War Service (if enlisted)
From November 1917 onwards, several reports appeared in the Parish Magazine about Henry’s war wounds. He was severely wounded by shrapnel in the left thigh and in both feet in about October 1917; one large toe was amputated and it was thought he would lose a foot. He was sent to Netley Hospital and then to Romsey and discharged from the army on 3rd July 1918 “owing to wounds”.
