Photographs of the diary of Corporal John Henry Kelty (3)

Corporal 33404 John Henry Kelty, known as Harry, was my grandfather. He was born in Newton Heath Manchester in 1890.

He was in the territorial army before joining the Manchester Regiment for war service.

He became a sergeant (gas NCO) and was transferred between battalions due, I assume, to losses. He was wounded and returned to England spending time in No. 1 War Hospital Reading and another hospital which I do not know it's name.

He did not return to the front due to losing a large portion of his right calf muscle from the gunshot wound. He was eventually discharged in December 1918. He spent some time in Germany after the war and eventually became a manager of the Yates' Wine Lodge in Manchester.
He died in 1956, a year before my birth.

These are photographs of a diary he kept, which strangely ends on the day his brother 1714 Private Frank Kelty died.

A transcript of the diary, photographs, and information on his brother Frank have been submitted separately.

33404号下士约翰·亨利·凯尔蒂（人称哈里）是我的祖父。他于1890年出生在曼彻斯特的牛顿希思区。

在加入曼彻斯特团服兵役前，他曾在本土军服役。

他晋升为中士（毒气科士官，gas NCO），我推测因部队减员，他曾在多个营之间调动。他在战斗中负伤并返回英国，先后在雷丁第一战地医院及另一家我不知名的医院接受治疗。

由于枪伤导致右小腿肌肉大面积缺损，他未能重返前线。最终于1918年12月退伍。战后他在德国待过一段时间，后来成为曼彻斯特耶茨葡萄酒旅馆的经理。他于1956年去世，那是我出生的前一年。

这些是他生前日记的照片，奇怪的是，日记恰好停笔于他弟弟——1714号列兵（Private）弗兰克·凯尔蒂牺牲的那一天。

日记的文字转录版、相关照片以及关于他弟弟弗兰克的信息已单独提交。
