Info on three men on a Roll of Honour - Woodsetts

[stevem49]

I have been asked to help out with three men who seem illusive on the Roll of Honour at Woodsetts in Notts.

Pte Saunders J S. Warricks Reg - I presume the Roll means Royal Warwicks but I can only find a Sgt on the MICs.

It could be that he never left England of course and without a number he may be difficult (Impossible) to find.

Pte Spencer Charlie 26568 K F A! I have found his MIC and it is Driver L/26568

Gnr Spencer Robert 216498 RGA - The number was either a 3 or 8 but I found no link with a 3, so this must be the man.

If anyone has anything on any of the above, I would be most grateful for it.

They are doing a booklet with a small piece on every man on the Roll of Honour for the Village.

Many Thanks

Steve

You are a star Paul.

I think I need to see the Rolls first hand as at present they keep sending me info which to say the least is confusing!

Cheers

Steve
