The Day My Great Grandfather Was Wounded in WW1

The day Percy Smith, my Great Grandfather was wounded in World War One.

Percy, a young British soldier from London serving with the Wiltshire Regiment, fought in the often-forgotten Mesopotamian campaign. Like many soldiers of WW1, much of his story has been lost to time, but fragments remain.

From surviving his wounds to undergoing a rare early blood transfusion, his story is a reminder of the real human cost of war.

This short is part of a larger project tracing his journey through WW1.
