STORIES FROM RESIDENTS OF THIS STREET
Manning St (Woodborough Rd to Trevitt St)
May 14 2017This week I received some 1st world war service records relating to my Granddad John Carter. Before he married my Grandmother, he lived with his mother Eliza at Ashover Terrace, Manning Street. In 1914, age 41, he volunteered for short service and joined The Royal Marines Light Infantry. His medical records show him to be 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 109 lbs with a fully expanded chest of 33 inches, his physical development was described as poor. In 1915 he went with the Chatham Division to the Dardanelles. On or about the 28th April the same year, whilst on active duty in the Gallipoli Peninsular, he sustained a bullet wound to the neck, ear and shoulder. I believe he went with the retreating troops to Cairo where he was treated for his wounds. After that it seems he went to the Orkney Islands with H.M.S. Cyclops 11 , a ship that serviced the submarines. I then have a hurt and discharge certificate dated 1916 where it states that he was suffering from traumatic epilepsy. ..................................Bring me my weeping bowl, I never met him, he died in 1939 at the outbreak of the 2nd world war.
