Albert E. Brinning first entered the French theatre of war on 15 August 1914, as a Private in a small service squadron of the 21st Lancers, thereby becoming one of a little over 90 men in his regiment to qualify for the 1914 Star. In common with a number of his comrades, he transferred to the Royal Army Veterinary Corps in March 1915.
