KIDD, Harold, 20 Chamberlain Street, Crawcrook, Ryton-on-Tyne, Co. Durham.
Enlisted May 12th, 1915, joining 2/1 N.C.B. at Saltfleet in July, 1915.
Spent most of time with Company, but during last few months at Skegness took up Signalling and passed out A1. Took a keen interest in football and cross-country running. Very often figured in the Company Teams. May 3rd, 1917, left Skegness with draft for Chisledon, spent ten days there, then crossed over to Rouen. Did another month’s training on the “Bull Ring”, then left for VII Corps Cyclist Battalion, where I remained until demobilised in February this year. Was on many parts of the Western Front during our stay in France. Was on the Arras Sector to start with, then we went to the Somme, where we stayed until we got chased away during the big retreat in March, 1918. Was in Belgium on the Ypres Sector for the glorious advance.
