Setting father’s record straight
From: Audrey Allsop, Maypole Street, Hemswell, Gainsborough.
referring to the letter from E Andrassy of Horbury, formerly of the York & Lancaster Regiment, (The Yorkshire Post, March 7), my father Arthur Gidley was discharged from the York & Lancaster Regiment in 1917, having been invalided out. He died in 1979 aged 92.
