Kerry Do you know the address of your great great aunt during the war? If you do, you may find the absent voters list for 1918/19 will give you the details you want. The absent voters list should be available in the local record office or sometimes at the local reference library of the town in which it was compiled.

11. [WW1] 15th/19th hussars. [1]
Hi to all Listers Have just subscrbed in the hope that someone out there can help me. I believe that my Grandfather may have been in the 15th/19th hussars. I am under the impression that he was a ? rough riding seargent [were his riding skills poor??] or was this actually a term. Also that he was a prisoner of war [battle of the Somme] Any information on the Battalion and their endevours also What chance have I in checking out whether Grandfather did serve with them and any record there may be? His Name be
12. [WW1] Re: Certificate of Service [1]
Fran, Yes, his service record should have survived and be available in the Public Record Office at Kew, London. And yes, to be pedantic you would get a different document. What your the sister, whom you mention (not sure from the way you have worded it who's sister), has is the man's own copy of his record in sheet format, which he personally retained and carried around with him. The centrally kept records are in book format. So, technically and pedantically they are different. You COULD obtain a copy of t

Hi All I have two queries to put to the list, though may be somewhat impossible because I don't have much information, but I'll give it a try The first one is my Great Uncle THOMAS THORNTON born late 1880's - 1894 Plumstead/Woolwich area, parents George and Elizabeth Thornton was in the navy in WW1, is there any way of tracking him down. I've not been able to find any further information on him. The second is my Grandfather HUGH JOSEPH EPTHORP born 16/6/1886 Hornsby (Central Cumberland) Australia, pare
14. [WW1] Issue of Commemorative Plaques [1]
Hello, I'm afraid I have some more questions. Please could someone tell me if a record exists regarding the issue of commemorative plaques to the families of soldiers who died in WW1 (did everyone get one?) and also whether medals would have been issued at time of death? Thankyou very much Wendy Keynsham Nr Bath
15. Re: [WW1] great uncles [1]
Brian, Windmill Hill lies between Ludgershall and Tidworth (map ref 253505). It was established there in 1903. It was only about 1 mile from Ludgershall railway station so that is probably the station featured in your card although there was also a military railway station at Tidworth. Windmill Hill was used mainly for summer camps but in July 1914 an OTC camp was established there. I would be interested to see your scans if possible, then maybe I can tell you a bit more. Best wishes, Jim Fuller Amesbur

19. [WW1] Re: RN Vessels 1913 - 1919 [1]
Alan, Sorry, I am unable to be of very much help, but, according to "British Warship Names" (Captain Manning & Commander Walker, 1959) the name "Commonwealth" was "introduced in honour of the Commonwealth of Australia which came into being in 1901". The book also states that HM.S. Commonwealth was a "Battleship of 1903. Sold in 1921. The base at Kure was given this name from 1946 to 1948".

20. Re: [WW1] Royal Welsh/Welch Fusiliers [1]
Hi All, The "Flash" worn uniquely by the 23rd Foot, The Royal Welsh Fusiliers, is not because of exemplary service by anyone during the napoleonic wars but is a stylalised representation of the greasbag worn by all ranks in the British Army during the 17th/18th century to protect the uniform from the grease used to form the pigtail. The reason the Royal Welsh Fusiliers are still allowed to wear it, is because at the time it was removed from general army wear, the Regiment was on active service in

Another mixed spelling in the British Army, the Welsh Fusiliers can also use Welch! I am told it depends on the commanding officer? Bubbles from Robin Hood Country.
