Mike Edwards

My grandfather served in WW1...James Edwards...believed he was 14 or 15 when he joined. he lived in Lichfield Staffordshire...After several aborted attempts to join local Regiments, (rejected because of age) he travelled to join the Ox and Bucks. I don't know when he joined but I know he got a bayonet wound in the neck for his troubles and was invalided out. I don't suppose you have casualty lists other than the dead..( I believe he may have been posted as missing at one time). Any info on WW1 battle field where the regiment fought would be most helpful.
