The rspondent from the UK mistook your query because you neglected to reveal the nationality of your uncle. Here is more info on the 32nd Michigan-Wisconsin National Guard Division of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in WWI of which the 107th Ammunition Train was a component unit.

5. RE: [WW1] William PURCELL RN [1]
Pete, SDITGW does not cover RN. Regards, Ken -----Original Message----- From: Pete & Vida [mailto:prbvtb@btinternet.com] Could someone please look up on the SDITGW CDs for a William PURCELL. It is known that he was in the RN and was at the Dardanelles. Family rumour has it that he died of Pneumonia during the war. A search of the CWGC has drawn a blank.
6. Looking for Willce White [1]
Excuse me. I'm new to the list. What is an ADM# ? I'm personally looking for my Great Uncle, Willce White. All I know of him is that he may have lived in South Wales or Somerset when the war started. He lived through it and at some time married a Belgian lady (I think she may have been a nurse). And that's all I have to go on. Any help much appreciated.

7. Re: [WW1] Annotation on Medals Card - Class Z [1]
Hello again John, Some Medals Cards have the annotation "Class Z" but others do not. What is the significance of this, in other words, why would some men be put in this class but others were not ? What determined the difference ? In the case of my father-in-law, he was put in Class Z but his brother was not ! Thanks for your help.

8. Re: [WW1] Army Papers - John Thomas Heathcote [1]
Nigel Your great grandfather was demobilized from the Labour Corps where he was serving in 602 Home Service (HS) Company. The entry on the Protection Certificate is 602HS not 60ZHS His Labour Corps number of 596706 indicates that he was transferred to the Labour Corps during the spring of 1918 (around April or May) 602 was an Employment Company, which means it was servicing a military base (hospital etc). Unfortunately there are no surviving records for the UK based companies so we know lit

10. William PURCELL RN [1]
Hi All, Could someone please look up on the SDITGW CDs for a William PURCELL. It is known that he was in the RN and was at the Dardanelles. Family rumour has it that he died of Pneumonia during the war. A search of the CWGC has drawn a blank. If he is there the info would be greatly appreciated as this is for a friend in the US. Many thanks. Pete Barker. UK.
11. Re: [WW1] Regular or Territorial [1]
Carol - he's a Regular soldier; definitely not Territorial or a New Army "Pals" man. He could however be a recalled Reservist who had completed his Regular Army engagement before 5/8/14, - only the possibility of a surviving service record could resolve that definitively. Service medal index cards for surnames U>Z don't go online till November. His medal entitlement will be the 1914 Star and British War & Victory Medals. SDITGW shows him as born Barrow and enlisted Sheffield. regards -- Tom Tulloch-Marshal
12. 2nd Battalion CEF 1915 [1]
I am trying to order a microfilmed War Diary for December 1915 from the National Archive. Battalions are listed under their Division. In 1918 the 2nd Battalion was part of the 1st Division, but I believe that was after a reorganization. Which Division was the 2nd Battalion part of in 1915. Thank-you. Susan in Hamilton ON

14. MIC - Help with Remarks [1]
Hello All, I'd be grateful for an opinion please on the notes in the 'Remarks' column of the MIC for Gnr 21561 Richie HOPKINS RGA. The entries in the Roll and Page columns for the Victory and British medals have been bracketed in the Remarks column as follows: ) ) Retd ( 1912) 8100/Adt The last letter in Retd is written as a superscript with a small underline - suggesting perhaps Returned or Retained? The missing section before 1912 looks like it has been erased and only slight evidence of some

16. Re: [WW1] Battalion - Company designation (help/clarification) [1]
Brian - there is no easy answer to this because it is rather looking for a logical explanation where there may not be one (but see later note ref King's Regulations). Most Regular Battalions designated A B C & D Companies, and prior to 5/8/14 quite a few TF Battalions had A B C D E F (and even G & H) Companies, which at the outset were reorganised to the four company scheme. W X Y Z designations occasionally appear in Bn diaries, but I've never seen any particular "reason" why that lettering was adopted. K
17. Re: [WW1] Please help decipher unit [1]
"..> Pvt. 107 Ammo TN > 32nd Div. WWI > My question is what is 107 Ammo TN?" Bobbi - "Ammo TN" - I would take to be the Ammunition "Train" (it doesn't literally mean Train as in railway-train, it means train in the artillery sense) of 32nd Division - but the method of abbreviation isn't really right for a British unit during WW1 and the "107" doesn't make sense for a unit of the 32nd (New Army) Division ........... and I could continue to wander down this irrelevant path for some time had it not been for

Hi Hugh, See: Seems the CCB did a stint of garrison duty in Belgium. Spare time was spent in regimental sports, cleaning & turning in equipment. On April 18, 1919, all ranks returned to England for a well deserved rest. On May 21, 1919, they came home on the R. M. S. Carmania & the remaining returned on the S. S. Northland on June 2, 1919.
