Regiment: Wilfrid was in the RH & RFA

The Royal Horse Artillery was armed with light, mobile, horse-drawn guns that in theory provided firepower in support of the cavalry and in practice supplemented the Royal Field Artillery.

The Royal Field Artillery was the most numerous arm of the artillery, the horse-drawn RFA was responsible for the medium calibre guns and howitzers deployed close to the front line and was reasonably mobile. It was organised into brigades.

Army Form Z.22

On discharge from military, everyone was given a medical examination and, if wounded (or damaged in some way) prior to discharge they were entitled to claim a disability pension. In the case of the Army an 'AF Z.22' form was given to the soldiers upon discharge to prove that the injury was suffered during their service. Wifrid fell into this category and was transferred to the Z class army reserve (probably as a means by which a payment would be made to him from the army even though he was no longer active).

Wilfrid married Marion Laura Hailey.

Marion was born on 18/12/1902 in Bilston. She died in December 1993.
