1. Re: [WW1] Debt of Honour Register, CHAPMAN [1]
Bill, Thanks for the kind help. I've been trying to find a way around searching those 1000+ entries one by tedious one. It looks like I'll have to try a different tack, however!! (I will simply have to find the boys' Christian names somehow...) Thanks for the lookup on your CD. I appreciate it.

2. [WW1] "Three before Breakfast" [1]
Briefly the story is as follows: Three British cruisers were sunk on 22 September 1914 in the infamous "Three before breakfast" incident. Despite warnings that the ships were too old, slow and, as a result, too vulnerable for such duties, HMS Aboukir, HMS Hogue, and HMS Cressy were on patrol duty in the north sea off the Dutch coast early that morning. The German submarine U9 (Kapitanleutnant Otto Weddigen), which was returning to base, came across HMS Aboukir and sank her with a torpedo. HMS Aboukir radioe
3. [WW1] suggestions for slang [1]
I am gradually working my way through a set of letters written from the front 1914 -1916, and have come across a term which I hope someone will be able to help with. The letters are showing many signs of their great age, so one word has been obliterated by a moth hole:-{ The writer is sitting in a trench writing his letter between glances into a glass balanced on a stick. He writes "object of glances - to see that ????? (hungry moth) and one o'clock are not taking the air in our back field." I understand th

Hi The salt mine is an excellent visit should you go near there again. Be warned though, if you go, be prepared to use a kind of wooden slide which is very long indeed to reach the depths! After being pleased to have encountered and conquered that one, there was another one further down the tour. You get your picture taken on the way down too.

8. Re: [WW1] Uniform help needed [1]
Hi Jayne, The two vertical stripes are "Wound Stripes", introduced in July 1916. One was issued every time the recipient was wounded (the definition of "wound" varying slightly from one Commonwealth force to another) and some photographs show much-wounded men with a ring of wound stripes running round their cuffs (during the Second World War only one stripe was issued regardless of how often you were wounded). The original specification says that they were to be made of "Russian Braid" and I have a few exa

19. Re: [WW1] VIRUS NOW "ON-LIST" ! [1]
Thanks for letting us know about this. Let me assure our members that viruses cannot be spread by mail coming through the list as Rootsweb blocks the sending of attachments, I imagine for this very reason. However, viruses can pick up on your email address in listmail received, so vigilance is the key. As ever the rule is don't open any attachments you haven't requested, email the sender instead & don't assume the sender knows they have a virus as they are often oblivious.

Hello List My dad was in the Somerset Light Infantry from about 1916 to about 1919. He was in Ireland and France and spent 9 months in a Germany POW camp.

Hello everyone, For some time I have been trying to find some trace of the fate of my grandmother's younger brother Willie (?Wilfred) PATTISON who was born in Stockport in 1893 and always lived there. Apparently he was a soldier and perished during WW1, but I have no clear idea where. I have checked out the War Graves website with no apparent luck although there are one or two with possible matching names. His parents were George Pattison and Mary Hannah (nee Marsland). I noticed that parents/ spouses are m
