2. Re: [WW1] Private Frank HILL, of Wellington, SOM and Bristol [1]
Norm, Some interesting challenges! Firstly there is a discrepancy between CWGC and 'Soldiers Died'. The latter records him as follows - Frank Hill, Private 268024, 2/7th Royal Warwickshires. Died (i.e. 'natural' causes), 06/02/17, France & Flanders. Enlisted Bristol. Formerly served as number 30470 Gloucestershire Regiment. To add: Burial at Etaples would make sense if he 'died', as hospitals were there. Division = The 61st (2nd South Midland) Division. Your questions: > 1. I expected him to be in a SOM,

If anyone on the list would like a photograph taken of a specific grave, in this Cemetery, relating to their research, please contact me OFF LIST with the name of the person and the Grave R
5. Re: [WW1] Additional names [1]
Hi Peter, In the course of working on www.roll-of-honour.com I have come across many examples of names which are untraceable. In most instances this is just a case of there not being enough information using a combination of Soldiers Died CD and CWGC to place the name concerned in the correct locality, and given the scale of Roll-of-Honour it would be impossible to do the necessary research. If the memorial gives full name and it is an unusual combination (something like Christmas Horatio Napoleon) I co

11. Re: [WW1] Bertram Edward Pretoria BRUCE [1]
Hello All, My G/father was a regular in The Leicester Tigers, he had served his time and had been in the Leicester City Police for a couple of years when war started, and he rejoined. At the end of the war, because of gas damage, he was unfit, either to stay in the army, or to go back in the police force. He had to take a job as a bank messenger, (a sympathetic bank manager perhaps?) which came with a flat for him and his family. He died of pneumonia in 1923, he had been a very fit man before the war, but

I have a great uncle who served in the British Army from 1906 to c. 1920. He served in Ireland, India, So. Africa, Egypt, then England, France (WWI) and Belgium and finally Germany.

20. [WW1] 17th London Regiment [1]
I think my grandfather George F HARRIS was in the 17th London Regiment. He survived the wars and died in the 1960s. Does anyone know of a website where I can check his name etc in the regiment. So far I can only check the names of my deceased ancestors on the Commonwealth War Graves site. Is there a list of soldiers who returned? Thank you Shirley

Richard - I'm not at all sure what the uniform is (maybe Army bandsman pre WW1 ?) - but I'd agree with Brian about what it isn't > Boys Brigade. - No belt or "haversack", and the headwear during that period was far more likely to be the double white-banded "Pill Box", - only Officers wore the Glengarry during the early days of the movement, though some companies adopted the dark blue / black Glengarry in later years. The Glengarry which your grandfather is wearing is almost certainly Other Ranks pattern Ar
