Jim Mitchell Posted 13 June , 2008 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2008 Thanks Ralph I already have that info. It was the East York`s Batt I was mainly after. Thanks again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted 13 June , 2008 Share Posted 13 June , 2008 Hi, I can only, at the moment, narrow it down to 1st or 2nd Battalions. Pure speculation I think he joined as a group of older men with previous experience as his number suggests attesting in Jan 1915 and he went to France 19/03/1915 I do suspect 2nd as there are many dead and wounded in his number group with them. If I find anything else I will let you know. Regards Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Mitchell Posted 13 June , 2008 Author Share Posted 13 June , 2008 Thakyou Charles, I guessed it might be 2nd Batt. My grandfather was with the 2nd in India. Walter Higgins medals are on "E" bay at the moment so i may have a go. Regards. jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted 13 June , 2008 Share Posted 13 June , 2008 Hi, Previous experience, possibly 14th mounted infantry. Good group, I shall see how you do. Regards Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
