Hello Dave, tis my 1st posting on this forum (you may recognise me as jay dubaya from the other place with advertising issues). Just touching base with this thread and hoping that all is good with you, cheers, Jon
Hi Jon. Yes, everything's fine with me, thanks. It's got a lot more than just advertising issues IMO, but here's not the place. I'm about to post all my replies to this thread from the GWF (I recall some are for you also?) so, could you (or anyone else who also uses the GWF) do me a favour please? I need you to notify those on the GWF that the replies are now available. (Unfortunately, the thread on the GWF is now locked (whether by me or by a moderator, I can't remember), so, if a mod won't unlock it for you temporarily to post the message, could you start a new thread to announce it for me? - I don't like to let people down and, as I promised to do the look ups for them, they're going to have to see them on here). All the images are on my photobucket account, so ,even if they are not members of this site, they should be able to see the images. Cheers, Dave. ...onto the look-ups....
antonjdown - sorry, but impossible to do using the histories alone. rjaydee - nothing mentioned R.maddams - you don't need Doll, but here's the London Scots on 14/10/18... jay dubaya - (hello again!) Grinter - mention of being on the strength 1st Sept 1915 and... Bowmaker - nothing Lyall - mention of him joining from the retired list in Aug 1914 and being killed by a stray bullet at Herlies after the attack. Wynne - listed as mobilized as a Lt. into the 3rd bn at Felixtowe, 6th Aug.1914 also listed as Lt in 2 Bn in Oct 1914. mention of him as a major commanding the unsuccessful Bn counter-attack near Broadmarsh Crater on 21st May 1916. Listed as wounded on July 10th 1916 near Point 25. Phillips - i think you got that? Thomas - nothing apart from being attached to 11th Bn Wilson - and RFC01 - 1/KOYLI in Salonika... Diane Alden - June 1916, they were in Egypt departing from Alexandria at the month's end. They arrived in Marseilles on july 6th and ,between 17th July and September 2nd, were in the Arras sector. Liverpool annie - no mention, but his MM was gazetted on 13/9/18 and his French CdeG was gazzetted on 6/11/18. murrough - apart from in the list of honours (with no battalion mention!), nothing I'm afraid. Jarvis - Finn - Stoddart and jones - nothing, I'm afraid. pietro - my apologies , I've just got the history of the first seven battalions. Doug II - There's no index in the RWK history, so it was almost impossible task (and I don't have any ASC histories) mike13 - nothing mentioned Wesley - Dallas - nothing Tweedale... StaffsReg - nothing that I can see. I think that's them all covered? (and in order too!!!:p) Dave.
Hi Dave Do you have any info for an officer of the Lincolnshire Regt, Lt W Nainby, who went missing on 27 May 1918 whilst attached to the 62nd LTM Bty? I've just read the scan you posted for Jarvis above, which deals with the same day. I don't know whether he will be mentioned in the Lincs history, since they had a number of casualties that day. Nainby's family were told that his position was overwhelmed, and that the whole battery were taken prisoner as they emerged from their dugouts. However, after that nothing was seen or heard of him, and it was not until some time after the war that his father accepted that he was dead, and not a forgotten prisoner somewhere in Europe. Geoff's search engine brings him up as the only 62nd LTM man killed that day. Thanks
What are you looking for Soren? There's more available than just what's listed - they're just what's on my hardrive or what I can reach without having to leave my chair! Dave
Hi Dave, Anything around this date, just out of interest: [FONT="]NARRY, JAMES Initials: J Nationality: [/FONT][FONT="]United Kingdom[/FONT][FONT="] Rank: Private Regiment/Service: Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) Unit Text: 9th Bn. Date of Death: [/FONT][FONT="]05/05/1918[/FONT][FONT="] Service No: B/8078 Cheers I also have some interest in My gt uncle from teh Welsh Regt KIA 20/02/1915, I've had some brilliant research done already on him, I just wondered if there's anymore out there [/FONT]
Typical! I think I've only got English regimental histories other than what's listed, but i'll see what i might find tomorrow. Dave.
Much appreciated Dave, that's a few more names on my lists sorted. I may come back with a few more if that's ok, I'll give yer a chance to get out of the chair though cheers fella, Jon
Dave - Many thanks for the information, apologies for my delay in thanking you - I've only just found my way back to this forum. Wesley
Do you have any information about the movements of 7th Suffolks during the second half of 1915, as well as first few days of the Somme (1-4th July 1916) My great grandfather Arthur Abbs was in the 7th Suffolks, and I'm pretty sure he was at Loos, but not sure where exactly, and he was wounded/captured on July 3rd 1916 near Ovillers La Boisselle. I have seen the regiment war diary, but before I had the above info, so any info you have would be welcome. Many thanks, Chris
Excellent, thank you. Very much appreciated. Now to find some trench maps, and it'll all make a bit more sense
Hi I'm looking for any info on the 10th London Regiment My Grandfather joined 1914 1916 and then died of his injury in 1920. I even got his medical Card / book. He was discharged from Chelsea Hospital and tells me what his injury was. A photo and or anything about the Balkans/France.
