Been reading about the 200 men of the Wilts who served in Z Comapny , 2 Hampshires in Archangel in 1919. W Company were Hampshires Y Company were Dorsets X Company were Somerset LI Z Company were Wilts. Numbers being made up with men from another 30 Regiments. The Hampshires history says the composite 2 Hamps battalion suffered seven killed and missing a further seventeen wounded. I know the two Hampshire Regt men who were killed. Lt Gorman & Sgt Batten. I've found a Wilts Regt chap , but he's not in my SDGW volume on the Wilts. (I'm old fashioned , I've got the book not the CD-ROM.) CWGC :: Casualty Details Can anyone tell me a) More about F Read, 2 Wilts attd 2 Hamps b) Who the other casualties were. EDIT:- Haha! Found him in SDGW under No2 Works Company he was from Westtyaherley. Nope, never heard of it! I think it's meant to be West Tytherley. Seems odd to list him as No 2 Works coy. W Seviour is also listed in SDGW as that & on CWGC. CWGC :: Casualty Details
