W.J.Caughey Posted 30 January , 2012 Share Posted 30 January , 2012 Hi Sean, had a look at your fine website, a great tribute to WW1 and a chance for others to contribute brillant, if i come across any 293rd men in my files will send to you. Keep up the good work. Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFayers Posted 31 January , 2012 Share Posted 31 January , 2012 Nice one Sean - well done! Is your nominal roll based on medal roll entries and chaps mentioned in war diary entries? I'd be interested to hear what other sources you've used to compile it. (Just wish I could find similar photos for 5 Siege Battery! ) All the best Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany Posted 31 January , 2012 Author Share Posted 31 January , 2012 Thank you both - Walter, please if you do come across anyone please let me know. Steve, mainly from esteemed members with huge knowledge of RGA, medal rolls, CWWGC, cited in service records of others - but mainly from the generosity of members sharing info.

Yes, the knowledge and generosity of many GWF members never ceases to amaze - I've similarly gained much valuable info since joining this wonderful forum! Just to second Walter, I'll also keep an eye out for other 293 S Bty men for you. Best of luck with further searches! Kind regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kildaremark Posted 31 January , 2012 Share Posted 31 January , 2012 Well done Seany, I live in hope for the day that someone prepares a general RGA website where people can submit photos and details on their battery of interest to build up a resource on the topic.

jasmor58 Posted 2 February , 2012 Share Posted 2 February , 2012 Well done! I know how difficult it is getting all the info together in presentable form. Regards, Jasmor58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany Posted 2 February , 2012 Author Share Posted 2 February , 2012 Thank you for your kind comments but I'm now thinking this is the result of about two years work, its half finished as even a basic website, and this is very much its early days. however, it can't be found on a google search - something is blocking access - a robot txt or something which I certainly never created. Any ideas how to make it visible to a search engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Llewellyn Posted 15 April , 2012 Share Posted 15 April , 2012 Hello Sean, I'm slowly working my way through the Leicestershire 1918 Absent Voters Lists and will gladly let you have any 293rd men that I come across. I've just completed the first voting division and have 383 RGA men listed with one man serving with the 293rd Siege Battery. 123329 Gnr. Frederick John Fleming 293rd Siege Battery residence shown as 1, Council Road, Hinckley, Leics. Regards for now. Llew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
