During the First World War, Wadsworth lied about his age to enlist as a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery and received a shrapnel wound in the left ankle.[4][7] His older brother Charles was killed in the war and "the atrocities left him physically and mentally scarred, suffering blackouts and grappling with post-traumatic stress".[4][7]
