Hi David,
Yes difficult times but ok and hope you are well and keeping safe.
I have not found any details/information that could exclude him but again without his service papers not 100% but I would say yes. Not knowing his Company can not say he was in the charge (if in 'A' Company then no).
Sorry about the late reply but when I read your posting I thought I would take another look at him and see if any new information was avialable but negative result.
His pension ledger details say he was a married man and born 1891 and also gave an address, 258 Percy Road, Greet, Nr. Birmingham. He married Elsie Gladys Wright Dec. Q. 1916 (when home recovering from wounds?). 1939 England and Wales Register Homer, George T. b. 9.4.1891 Hawker, Homer Elsie G. unpaid dom. duties b. 10.10.1896 35 Leominster Road.
Pension ledger shows disabilities GSW left hand, discharged 12.12.1918 (6th Bn.).
Your wounded dates for 1915 Sept./Oct. I have June/July (Reported in Worcester Herald 3rd July 1915 edition as wounded, 18th June 1915 edition in Military Hospital, Fort Pitt, Chatham).
Hope this is of some help.
Regards
Peter
