Nicholas Worsfold was my great grandfather and he used to live at Sims Cottage in Claygate. *
Nick was in the Royal Marines Light Infantry 1895 - 1899 and served in South Africa for two years, he missed the Boer War by a few months. In 1914 he joined the Army Service Corp and served in France from 1915 to 1916 and was shipped to Mesopotamia (Iraq) where he was mentioned in despatches in 1918. He finished the war as a Warrant officer Class II having started as a Corporal in 1915.
He was living in Addlestone in 1921 and as a barman at the railway inn, he was also a Fireman and attached to Esher and Dittons Fire Brigade (originally Claygate) but I'm now uncertain how he was still connected like that as he was awarded the ten years service medal and it is marked as for being with Esher and Dittons so evidently there is more to learn.
