More about Albert Gordon Cramb

On 21.06.1916, whilst resting near Bedford House, Belgium, Albert was out on a working party when he received a shrapnel wound to his left knee. He was evacuated to No5 Canadian Field Ambulance for first aid before being transferred to No 17 Casualty Casualty Clearing Station at Poperinge, Belgium. He was eventually invalided back to England and then on to Canada for further medical treatment. Albert was medically discharged from the Army 30.11.1917.
