Pte Corbett served with the 8th battalion the Worcester Regiment. His MIC shows that he was discharged due to wounds in April 1917. I cannot find any service records but wondered if there was any record of his wounding in the war diaries.
Any help on finding more information on Pte Corbett would be much appreciated.

Steve,
Sorry can't help with 8th Bn. War Diary but Pte Corbett did recieve a Silver War Badge (No. 164436) issued to service personnel who had been honourably discharged due to wounds or sickness ). Enlisted 24.9.1914 discharged (wounds) 14.4.1917.
