HARRY PALIN
Harry Palin was exempt from
army service as a farm worker but
joined up in January 1918 and was
called up in February. He was put
in the Liverpool Scottish as they
had been annihilated at Pashendale
in 1917 and consequently were
short of men. He basically finished
training in September but with one
thing or another was kept back. He
was on his way to France when the
Armistice was signed.
"I was kept back again and sent
out to work on a farm for two
months as the farmers were realty
in trouble for them," said the World
War I veteran. "There were four
men working on the farm where I
went and three of us were soldiers."
In. February again he was called
back and sent out to Belgium to
Antwerp where they were given the
job of clearing guns off the battle-
fields and loading on ship for Eng-
land. The ships were bringing sup-
plies for the army of occupation in
Germany and they had to guard
them on their way up there to Ger-
many as there was a lot of looting
going on. They loaded the guns on
their ships on their way back to
England, 1 imagine to Harwich. I
was there 'til November 1919.
Soldiers were being demobilized all
through 1919, first in first out and
he was one of the latecomers. "I
was near the last."
