Default JEWISH (MANCHESTER) TROOPER PEMBROKE YEOMANRY WW1

Nice extract (unpublished) memoir of Laurence Marks, covering his enlistment, training, court marshall, desertion, war wounds, battle of Somme, trench warfare and stupid officers.

Although he hasn't elaborated on why Manchester Jewish boys joined the Pembroke Yeo.

Covers 9 pages (A4) so have broken down in manageable pieces/chapters.

Looking over the extracts seem to have missed the first and last paragraphs.

Cool JEWISH (MANCHESTER) TROOPER PEMBROKE YEOMANRY WW1

I think nothing changed, I worked with a Londoner who served with the Gordon Highlanders, during WWII.
