After searching for my father for a good few years in the records, I have just come across your site and low and behold found him.Edwin Foster RAMC 27216, now I really know he was there. All he ever told us was that he was in Salonika and one story about getting a man in who had been out on the field and had gangrene in his leg and how they had to amputate and put the maggots back on the leg to keep it clean.
