W G Grace

Rank: Lance Corporal

Regiment: West Riding Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps

Address: Hastings

Other Info: Text Reads ‘He is 55 years of age, but is at the Front, and has two sons serving there also. Lance Corporal Grace is well known in Hastings as a driver and acted as chauffeur for a local gentleman for seven years. He hope the mention of the fact that he is serving in the field will induce some of the young men of the town to “shoulder arms and come out to help us”. He has been told that he is the oldest man from Hastings at the Front, but we do not know if that is the case.
