Malcolm Posted 14 November , 2008 Share Posted 14 November , 2008 1st was August 1914 and 2nd was also 1914. Probably 1/4th Battalion as they were landed in France BY 20th February 1915. All the others were May to July 1915. However he may have been sent as a replacement to 1st or 2nd Battalion with a draft from the Gordon's base.
