1. Re: [WW1] MISSING !!! [1]
Alan - do you believe everything you read in the papers ?! You refer to the medal index card so I presume you have seen it and the medal rolls - firstly, two years in the theatre of war / died mid 1916 / served with 11th Lancashire Fusiliers (and I presume no attachment on the mic before that, because you don't mention one) is impossible - 11th LF's didn't go overseas till September 1915, and in any case if William qualified for either the 1914 or 1914-15 Star then his mic would have given the first qualif
2. [WW1] Royal Gloucester HUSSARS, 10th. Royal HUSSARS [1]
Hello Listers, Is there anyone on the list researching the above units. I am looking for any reference to a Capt. Robert Cecil GORDON-CANNING who served in both these units between 1906 and 1919. TIA. from Norman A.

4. Unidentified subject! [1]
My mother's uncle, Bombadier H Fox was in the 62nd Bde H.Q., Royal Field Artillery in WW1. I believe he enlisted in Hertford. Where can I find out more about the part this Regiment would have played in the war? Harry is said to have"died" rather than have been "killed", on Thursday 14th. Nov. 1918, & is buried in the Brebieres British Cemetery in France. I am told this could denote the fact that he may have died in the flu epidemic of 1918, rather than have been killed in action.

Certainly some soldiers had their own made (or given to them by relatives) in metal to avoid the problem of their issue identity tags rotting away. I have my great-uncle's in silver.

6. Re: [WW1] The Lifeguards / Worcestershire Regiment ? [1]
Frances - quite possible to have served with both - if he did, and both periods of service were overseas and medal qualified then both units will appear on his medal records at PRO. If he did have Life Guards service, but not overseas and medal qualifying, then you are reliant upon either finding a surviving service record at PRO or alternatively, the Guards Combined Records Office have good records. regards -- Tom Tulloch-Marshall Great War Military Research prosearch@btinternet.com http://www.btinternet.
7. Re: [WW1] 3rd Air Mechanic [1]
In 1914 Alfred Rothschild offered the Army the use of Halton Park as a training base. During WW1 it was used as a supplementary camp for Aldershot. In 1917 the Royal Flying Corps School of Technical Training and the Boys Training Depot were established at Halton. The War Office bought the estate in 1918. In January 1922, No.5 Aircraft Apprentice Entry was the first entry to be trained at RAF Halton, which established itself as the home of the RAF Apprenticeship Scheme. In 1964 the apprentice scheme was revi

9. Re: [WW1] Easter Rising [1]
Hi David your question raises another in my mind one of the units of the army in Ireland during the troubles was known as the Black and Tans. Was this a particular policing battalion(s) or was it comprised of other regular army units. I seem to remember my father saying that the government paid 6d per day to fight the Germans and 1/- per day to fight the Irish.

10. [WW1] MURPHY, Alex, gas, Photo in Uniform hard to identify [1]
Dear All, My first entry to the list. Hello! My research is very specific and so far centres on one individual: ALEX MURPHY. Can anyone help me? I'm hunting for ANY information about my grandfather, Alex MURPHY, born in Swansea area of Wales, UK (his grandfather might have been Irish), served in WWI, and died 1937 in Mumbles, probably as a result of ill health sustained by exposure to gas. He left a wife, Mary Bevan (died 1995), and a son, William Alexander Murphy (died 1993). I am the son of William Alex
11. [WW1] New subscriber [1]
Dear Great War Listers, This is my first posting. My name is Liz Moran and I am researching my grandfather and his four brothers who all served in WW1. My grandfather was called JOHN EDGAR JACKSON, Lance Corporal No. 1857, serving with the 1st/5th West Yorkshire Regiment, Prince of Wales Own - which was part of the 146th Brigade, 49th West Riding Division. He enlisted at York in August, 1914 at the age of sixteen, and he sailed from Folkestone to Boulogne arriving 15th April, 1915 in France. >From research
12. Re: [WW1] Reg-no [1]
Andy - the details you are giving below appear to be from an AMRO medal index card rather than from the actual medal rolls - is that correct ? - have the rolls themselves been examined ? (the rolls sometimes give more information than is on the index cards). Service overseas is in this order > Army Service Corps > West Yorkshire Regiment > Royal Warwickshire Regiment > Corps of Hussars. There is nothing at all accurate that can be done with the service numbers in order to work out Battalion or Company atta

He was born Jan 11, 1896 in Charlotte County, Virginia (died Aug 24, 1964 in Richmond, VA). I would appreciate any help! Thanks! Have a nice day! Sincerely...

17. Re: [WW1] WWI Deserters [1]
Lynne I am reading a good book at the moment that might interest you. It is called "SHOT AT DAWN" BY Julian Putokowski and Julian Sykes. It lists a lot of deserters and their punishments, and their names and battallions. Do you have a name of anyone in particular? I could see if his name is in their.

18. [WW1] Cap Badge Identication [1]
Thank you everyone that replied to my inquiry. I visited the websites that people gave to me and it is the Staffordshire knot. I must apologize for calling the knot a pretzel but when you have to use a 10X magnifying glass to see the object it was hard to determine what it was. One thing I must comment on is this badge does not have the scroll bar at the base like the ones I saw on the websites. Also it is the Queen's crown. I checked this with my own collection of badges I have obtained over the years. I
19. [WW1] Funeral with Full Military Honours [1]
Hi All, Couple of quick questions with my Sec. of the Local History Society`s cap on .............This person not being related to anyone we know of. We unearthed a newspaper clipping dated 1938 of the funeral of Mr. Giraldus CHARLES, M.C., M.M. After a bit of digging *our* Charles turns out to be RSM G. Charles of the 9th Welsh Regiment. The info I can so find out on the 9th Welsh is that they were part of the BEF (19th (Western) Division) and served at the following battles of WWI: Loos (1915)
20. [WW1] Corporal H Greenwood [1]
I have recently been researching the history and events concerning my Grandfather No. 6562 Rifleman J. Byrne 12th Btn The Rifle Brigade, KIA in the Battle of Langemarck 17th Aug 1917 with a view to visiting the battle site (foot & mouth permitting). From information gathered from the Battalion War Diaries, Trench Maps etc. I can almost pinpoint the area he was killed - Alouette Farm and Eagle Trench - and possibly by what we would term today as "friendly fire", However, I recently read Lynn Macdonald's ex
21. Re: [WW1] Daley's [1]
Bob - there are WW1 death records for 3 George Daley's and 1 George James Daley. One of the George's served with the 3rd (City of London) Battalion Royal Fusiliers and died 17/10/18. None of the others has an obvious London connection. There are 4 Joseph Daley's and 1 Joseph Henry - one of the Joseph's served with the 12th Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regt) - again, the only one with an obvious London connection, but he died 22/6/17. First thing you should do is check all the CWGC records for George an

23. [WW1] Look up please [1]
Hi everyone I am trying to do some research on a WW1 soldier who is buried in my local church yard (Tilton on the Hill, Leicestershire,UK) On the headstone it says "493766 Cyril Palmer, Labour Corps.Died 13/01/18, age 20". I found out ,from the CWGC site, that he was previously 79655 89th Bn. Training Reserve.I was wondering if the Soldiers Died CD held any more information about him. Thanks in advance John
24. Re: [WW1] WW1 casualties [1]
Liz - there is no simplistic explanation of Kia which is accurate, certainly using the expression "instantly" would be highly misleading. Dow seems to have been applied generally to men who were wounded and then removed to another place before they died (regimental aid post, dressing station, casualty clearing station, etc), but it also seems to have been used for a lot of men who died in or near the front line a short period after they had been wounded. In reality a lot of the men listed as Kia, who died i
