Private W Worster


 
Private Worster was a soldier-patient at either Hickwells or Beechland House. His album entry has been heavily over-written in black ink at some stage and there is no date.  The entry reads:
 
A Kind Token
I wish you all the happiness
in the World

Pte W Worster
5/14 Middlesex Regn

There was no 5/14th Middlesex Regiment but the 5th (Extra Reserve) and the 14th (Reserve) Battalions of the Middlesex Regiments were stationed in England.  I have been unable to locate a medal index card for this man and it is possible that he never actually served overseas.
