Chris_Baker Posted 2 March , 2004 Share Posted 2 March , 2004 Can anyone tell me anything about a large draft of men from the Army Service Corps who joined 12th (Service) Bn, the King's (Liverpool regiment) in 1917? Any ideas when, why, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promenade Posted 23 March , 2004 Share Posted 23 March , 2004 Chris, About 75 men transferred from the ASC to 12 KLR - the number block is approx 50295 to 50372. The transfer probably took place in October 1916 when a total of 683 ORs are reported to have joined while the Battalion was located in a number of areas in the Somme theatre. One of those who transferred was from 55 Company ASC - which makes sense however them men seemed to have originated from many areas of the UK. The how and why are subject to speculation. Can I ask the reason for your query? Regards Joe Devereux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
