More about John Smith
John served with the Seaforth Highlanders, Reg No 202207. It is believed that he was gassed during the war and was most likely deemed unfit for active service and transferred to the Labour Corps. The effects of the gas remained with John until he died in 1931.
Information and images very kindly supplied by John’s granddaughter Adrienne Fouracre
