Draft RNLJL & RNLSB details including names/numbers

Picked this up fairly recently, gives a bit of an idea of the admin for a draft as well as having a list of those included - I've transcribed the names and numbers so they show up on searches - I've checked casualty lists and London Gazette to get an idea of what happened to the men. The drafts were for the Sherwood Foresters and Lincolns and the casualty list returns reflect this although a small number had moved on to other units.

4618402 Pte. William Alexander Gibbon, 5th Bn Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment) KIA

 

Very interesting. I am writing a history of the 5th Foresters and recognise quite a few of the names. The CA Lord mentioned as the officer to who the men are to reports is Charles Anthony (Tony) Lord MC, formerly of the 8th Foresters and subsequently commander of A Company 5th Foresters. I will have a look at matching more of these names to other lists I have of people from the battalion.

 

Hi,

Alastair (AB64) won’t be able to respond to your post as he passed away a few months ago.
