John Andrew Wilson, of Wallsend, born 1884, died 1 July 1916, aged 32. 18540, Company Sgt Major, 15 Batt, Durham Light Infantry. Joyce Bell of Woodstock, Georgia, USA, his granddaughter, tells his story: “Grandpa Wilson joined up in Aug 1914 and was sent to France in 1915. The 15th DLI took part in the Somme offensive and went over the top on the morning of 1 Jul 1916 into murderous machine gun and artillery fire. The British and Commonwealth Armies suffered 60,000 casualties within the first 5 hours of which one third were killed. Grandpa Wilson's body was never recovered but he is listed on the Thiepval Memorial. Family lore has it that he died going to the aid of a wounded officer because of his medical training. We have since found out that he was in the RAMC prior to 1902. It is hard to realise that due to the stupidity of the General Officers two soldiers were wounded and one killed every second of the battle. God bless you Grandpa - gone but never forgotten.” This picture shows John Andrew Wilson, front right about January 1916.

I don’t show this rifle much. Not because I don’t like to, but because it is so far back in the safe. I truly enjoy shooting this bad girl, though! . #enfield #leeenfield #lee #british #english #uk #fazarkerly #1943 #303 @brownellsinc @grey.wolf.tactical @weaponsdaily @gunsdaily @gunfreaks (at Fayetteville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VTkpFJYbQ/?igshid=1m2bv74760rg1

Smoked this delicious stogie at the range the other day. I picked this up when I was at the outer banks and stopped in at the ocracoke cigar lounge. #ocracokecigars #obx #leeenfield #savagearms #puffpuffpewpew #cigarsandguns #cigars #ww2 #militarysurplus #303british #woodandiron #gooutside #milspec #stogie #nicaraguancigars https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLEmM4AQKi/?igshid=kzzwbd4v4nc1
