1. [WW1] A.I.F. Casualty Lists [1]
Hi Patrick, Although you don't mention your uncles' units, I will assume they were in the A.I.F. The casualty lists should have been printed in the Western Australian papers (or other states). Remember there was a delay between the date of the incident and being printed.

5. [WW1] July 1916- Somme [0.983201]
Hi List, Thanks to Ian and Tom for their help with my last request. I have been studying the war diary for 1st Btn East Yorks Regiment,a place called Carcaillot Farm is mentioned as a rest place near Mametz Wood. I have been unable to find it on any map. Does anyone know anything about it,please? John De Fraine
6. [WW1] A Miner at War [0.983201]
Hi, A week or so ago I wrote to the list asking if a 38 year old miner would have joined up or been drafted, and John Chapman replied that the army was keen to recruit miners for the tunnelling and fortification digging that went on. Great, I thought, it gives me a starting point. NOW, however, the cousin who sent me the original photo of Edwin THOMAS in uniform has sent me another, showing him on a horse, with a rifle or carbine in a 'boot' at the back of the saddle (muzzle upwards, just behind his shoulde
7. Re: [WW1] Re: GREATWAR-D Digest V01 #238 [0.983201]
Charles - firstly, I have to remind you that the original question from June Castle (in NZ) was "am I right or am I wrong" ("I" being JC) about the timings of the first disembarkations at Gallipoli. I didn't ask the question, I simply responded to it. I don't have a "hang up" about the timings at all - I was simply trying to establish what the factual background was. I'm afraid you appear to have have missed the thread of this string, compounded by the fact that you have misinterpreted so many of the state
8. [WW1] Re: GREATWAR-D Digest V01 #238 [0.983201]
My actual statement was that "Both Tom and Iain would appear to have gotten themselves caught up in the nexus between war history and national culture." And I stand by that. The intention was to point out different things in each case: Iain was concerned that he had been taken to task over the date of the landings, and in fact he was quite right in the (military) sense that for a dawn landing on the 25th, one gets organised on the day before.

9. [WW1] Distant Cousin? [0.983201]
Hi All, First of all thanks to Iain Kerr and Tom Tulloch-Marshall for their help in my last query which we found very helpful. In our diggings around in the family history we have found a Charles Pratt who we know died in 1918. On the CWGC site we found a Serjeant Charles Henry Pratt MM of 21 Bn Middlesex Regiment buried in Luton. Son of Charles and Sarah Pratt of Luton. The question is, how can we find out if he was married as this could tie him in with us. We know his possible wife's parents. Many

11. [WW1] VOLUNTARY DETACHMENT AIDS [0.983201]
So much information exists on the two World Wars, yet hardly anything on those who served as VADs (Voluntary Aid Detachment) personnel in WWI. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can locate the records of those who joined. I have tried the British Red Cross, but believe that there are other archives, since they are incomplete. My great great aunt, Alice Winifred Stevens (nee FAWCETT) was a VAD and served in Egypt and Etaples. She was in Etaples when the War ended. Many thanks. Margie P

13. [WW1] Emergency Ration [0.983201]
Sorting through my various memorabilia of Dad (WW2) and Grampy (WW1) I have the lid of a tin inscribed as above with the text ....."Purpose of Contents..to be consumed only when no other rations of any kind are procurable. To Open..strip off band insert coin in corner groove and turn. NOTICE: not to be opened except by order of an officer." Similar size to Grampy's Queen Mary box. Is this from WW1 or WW2 ? MC
14. [WW1] Clifford Walter CHAPMAN RFA [0.983201]
I have just acquired the service record, including the 1914-18 period, of 2/Lt. Clifford Walter CHAPMAN, Royal Field Artillery. Unfortunately, the military researcher who obtained this material had got the wrong man! However, if these records are of use to anyone else researching this man, I will gladly pass them on.

Kristin - this isnt earth-shattering news - but go into the Google search engine and enter "uss santa teresa" - it finds a site which has transcripts of correspondence from a soldier who was maybe on the trip you refer to (mentions Pershing visiting camp in France) and also has references to a newspaper which was printed on-board - you could maybe track that down in the US. regards -- Tom Tulloch-Marshall Great War Military Research prosearch@btinternet.com http://www.btinternet.com/~prosearch
17. [WW1] NZ Gallipoli Landing [0.983201]
To add to the discussion, the following is an extract from "The Auckland Regiment" by 2nd Lieut. Ormond E. Burton, written in the 1920's. Burton, himself, joined the regiment with the Fourth Reinforcements, so wasn't at the actual landing. And as a rather poignant footnote, Michael King, referring in his book "New Zealanders at War" to the departure by sea of the NZ soldiers for the Second World War writes:- <

Sue, Your Uncle Leonard died at Gommecourt on the extreme left flank of the 1st day of the Somme. Iain Kerr has given you a very good precis but please write to me off list with specific questions, I should be able to help you a lot with this request as I have deeply reserached the 1/7th Sherwoods on that day and the 1/5th fought alongside that battalion. As a starter though take a look at the following: http://www.hesketha.freeserve.co.uk/Wwi/Great%20War%20Home.htm click on the photograph or the name to

Hello List, The ancestor I am presently researching was in the 15th Battalion of the Canadian army. He stayed at Tidworth Barracks, I am wondering if there is a photo available of the barracks? Also a Pond Farm is another place he stayed, does anyone know anything about Pond Farm, where it is or why he may have been there?.

Hi fellow listers, Is there anyone who might be able to help me to find out a little more about Grandpa William Meiklejohn Robertson? He enlisted with the Royal Garrison Artillery about September 1917 and joined the 22 Siege Battery of the Artillery as a Gunner [Number 194304] in France. He was sent over as a reinforcement with the BEF and was Killed in Action on Wednesday September 18th 1918 near Bailleul in West Flanders.
