1. Re: [WW1] Uncommemorated WW1 Dead [1]
Ed, The 'Register of Royal Marine Deaths' includes a Gunner Victor Joliffe, RMA, 11539, HMS Defence, 31 May 1916. Don't suppose this helps a lot! I also have a man on my local war memorial who fails to appear on the CWGC or Soldiers Died, so I look forward to any hints you may receive!

There is a Boer War list at BOER-WAR-L@rootsweb.com There were two Boer (not Boar) Wars or South African Wars fought between the Boers (settlers of Dutch origin) and the British colonial power in South Africa. They are also known in South Africa as the First and Second Wars of Freedom. The Firs

4. [WW1] 1st Devonshires [1]
I'm currently writing a short piece on a Ernest SHORT Private 8006 1st Bn., Devonshire Regiment who died on Saturday, 24th October 1914. In his former employment Ernest was a Metropolitan Police Officer. Can anyone tell me where the 1st Bn would have been on October 24th 1914. Many thanks Mervyn Wilson
5. [WW1] Photos ?Lincolnshire Reg? [1]
I have two photographs of men from what I think is the Lincolnshire Regiment. I think they were taken at training camps after the men had recently joined up. I think can identify two of the men, but wondered if there is a web page I can send them to so that they are available to others? jane.jones3@btinternet.com
6. [WW1] MEDAL ROLLS [1]
Good evening everyone, I wonder if anyone can help me. Would SKS please check the above for a CPL CHARLES TURNER Royal Welch Fusiliers, service no 10071. I have a copy of a letter from the war office which reads as follows; [Copy] War office, September 21st 1918 To Corporal Charles Turner 9th R.W. Fusiliers I have been directed to write and congr
7. [WW1] WW1army record [1]
I have just joined this site and know nothing about it whatsoever. So, SKS please advise where I should start looking for info. about my gfather's army war record in WW1: His name is ENOCH SAXTON. I do not know his regiment or his army number or rank. The only info I have is a photo of him in his army uniform and it looks like he must have served in a cavalry regiment, as he is holding a riding crop. He has a badge, which looks like a 'crown' on each of his collars. He served at the battle of Ypres. He
8. [WW1] Canadian Machinegun Corps [1]
A good place for information on any Canadian service information would be the Canadian War Museum library in Ottawa. You can contact the librarian at liliane.lafleur@warmuseum.ca for more information. There are a group of volunteers, mostly ex-servicemen, who will carry out research for you on a specific topic at no charge. Best wishes to all Clem Hobbs Carleton University - Ottawa
9. Re: [WW1] CWGC support [1]
Hi Listers, I have queried CWGC and as they have a 6-8 week backlog of emails to deal with they will send a detailed reply as soon as possible. However Bill Dungey's answer gives a fair idea of why. May I also suggest that if you have concerns about any Grave stones or Memorials you get in touch with Friends of War Memorials who make it their business to preserve all Memorials of the Wars. http://www.war-memorials.com/ Aye, Malcolm
10. [WW1] Machine gun Corps [1]
I am inspired by responses to requests for Photos of the Great War. My relatives were in the Machine Gun Corps and I have had little success in my research. If anyone has photo's of this group of people, especially those dated 1915 and 1916 I would love a copy. Hopeful Jason Mills
11. [WW1] PTE. B. GROVES 10147 S. STAFFS. R. [1]
Hi listers, I am currently in possession of a War Medal, a 1914-15 Star for the above named. If anybody has any knowledge of this chap, or has anything in their research to help identify him, please contact me off-list and I will provide further information. Also, does anybody know anything about the history of the S. Staffs R. I'm a bit of a beginner as far as military research goes and would appreciate a pointer or two on any relevant publications, or on-line sites that might help. Thanks for taking th
12. [WW1] Old camp photographs [1]
Hello Listers, I'm new to this list. I was wondering if anyone out there can help me with this OR I can help them. I found a few years ago and again a few days ago in our library some old photographs from Military (Army) camps. Only ONE is dated and has SOME of the names left on it. I will include that a little later in the message. I have been able to stablize them enough to mount them (with acid-free products) onto a board for others to see. They were rolled up and are VERY fragile. #1 ~ 1917 ~32-3

I am looking for the following information: 1. Where was the 62 and 63 Labour Company was formed from the 21St ( labour) Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment subjected to a Mustard Gas attack? How large was this unit? My great uncle, Max Gellman. ( Marks Gellman ) Private 210395 . 62nd Labour Company. Listed incorrectly in Honour Roll of British Jewry as Max Gellam.

Hello All, If anyone has any suggestions on how to find information re Archangel in Russia. My grandfather, Sgt. Francis Jenkin HOPKINS, was in the Army Service Corp during the Grit. War 1914-1918. His boat was torpedoed and he was lost in Russia. He was eventually invalided home to a hospital in Sheffield, England. Thanks for your attention, Vivienne (nee Hopkins)

16. [WW1] Albert Turley [1]
Hi List, Thank you very much Martin and Tom for your speedy reply to my query about Albert and the Commonwealth war Graves, he obviously isn't my great uncle. Your information Martin has raised another query. As a child my grandmother Turley spoke of my grandfathers brother Daniel Turley losing his leg in the war. It was only when I started doing my family tree that I discovered he had died in France I presumed from his wounds. I have since been told by a relative that he died from pneumonia! He is on the
17. Re: [WW1] 3rd DCLI [1]
Lesley - this is a very basic and common "trap" in the way that many WW1 period British Officer's records of service are compiled. It is very common for a man to be commissioned into one of the (any) regiment's home-service battalions and then to be "attached" to an active service battalion overseas, but the "attachment" not to be recorded in things like the Army Lists. Even in the man's service record files it is not at all unusual to find the man himself filling in forms such as an "arrival report" and p
18. [WW1] Stoker W.H.HUGHES RN [1]
Hello I'm trying to identify this man from the an entry on the WW1 memorial in Llandybie in West Wales. There are two possible W.H.Hughes on the CWGC site. One was an AB with Anson Div who died in France. More likely is Trimmer W.H.Hughes who was lost at sea in 1917 when the paddle steamer 'Queen of the North' was sunk whilst in service as a minesweeper. Can anyone offer an opinion here please; I know it's not going to answer the question positively but I believe that both Stokers and Trimmers woul

Stan, There is no entry for Private 1097 Jack Langley in the Lynn section of Haggard, Sir H. R. (1920) Norfolk Roll of Honour 1914-18 (Reissued by Gliddon Books in about 1988). I have not looked at the lists for neighboring parishes. Regards, Rob Carman
20. [WW1] RAMC Private 5583 JT Payton [1]
The PAYTON family appears to have vacillated between Plymouth/Richmond Grove, Manchester and Tavistock/Brentor, Devon at regular intervals during 1914-27. JOHN THOMAS PAYTON, RAMC Private 5583 (detailed above) address 3 Holland Rd Southsea in 1914 represents a familiar conundrum. He survived WW1 to later emigrate to Canada in 1929. Serendipity offers conceptions of `Old Pals Regiment' and the MONs Star ? Can you help me please? Why would he be conscripted from Lancashire to the RAMC in Portsmouth ? Did the

23. Re: [WW1] Look up on SWDITGW please [1]
Sheelagh, Further to what Bill & Tom have told you there is (or do I mean was?) a situation which could well lead to men not being listed in SDITGW or by the CWGC. and seems to get overlooked. That is that if a man had been, say, wounded or was chronically sick and as a result of being no longer fit for naval / military service, been discharged by the RN / Army / RAF he would have reverted to being a civilian. In this is the case, the compilers of SDITGW and / or the CWGC may not have known about him - unle
