Allanp.

thankyou for the information, do you know, in what action he was
wounded in?

My grandfather E Joynes 38291 was wounded on 9th October 1917,
with gunshot wounds to the abdomen (Nemur Crossing) Fred Dancox won the VC on that day.

E Joynes ended up in Newcastle Upon Tyne General hospital on 16th October 1917 and was released in February 1918, he never went into action again. I always wondered whether Alfred G Stokes fought along side with E Joynes 38291, as, E Joynes eventually married Alfred G Stokes
sister Dorothy Stokes, (my grandmother).

One day I might find out.

Again many thanks, keep in touch.

Regards.

Peter.
