102213 Private Charles Philip Simpson was called up for military service on 24th January 1917 aged 18 years and 200 days. He was a Motor Driver by trade and was originally called up to the ASC MT Depot at Grove Park and allocated service number M/285667. He was subsequently transferred to the 60th Training Reserve Battalion before being posted to the Machine Gun Corps where he served with the 232nd Company (which was part of the 51st Battalion of The Machine Gun Corps - The MG Battalion of the 51st Highland Division). At the time of his enlistment he lived at 62 Blackfriars Street, King's Lynn. On 26th September 1917, he was sentenced to 14 Days Field Punishment Number 2 for the crimes of "Whilst on active service causing a disturbance after lights out and insolence to an NCO". He was wounded in the right leg on 21st February 1918. This led to him being discharged on 7th February 1919 due to his injuries. At the time of his discharge his address was given as Sutton St James Near Wisbeach in Lincolnshire. Hope that is of some interest ATB Paul
