Guest thwaitey2004 Posted 22 March , 2004 Share Posted 22 March , 2004 Can anyone tell me the location of 1st Bn Coldstream Gds, number 2COY on the 3rd April 1916? In the Ypres Salient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fuller Posted 23 March , 2004 Share Posted 23 March , 2004 Reckon the best source of detailed info is likely to be the Regimental war diaries. I found that level of detail on the 7th Bedford Regiment from the Beds County Hall Archive people. who have their diaries on line. Would expect / hope te Coldsteams had their Diaries kept, but couldnt help with what County Hall they are likely to be under.... Wherever their Regiment was formed is prob gonna be the place to look? Otherwise, the action he was KIA in may be included in some of the usual history of WW1 books? Worth a look if some are to hand? Goos luck!

Guest Jimmy Knacky Posted 16 January , 2005 Share Posted 16 January , 2005 Somewhere around White House Farm Cemetery - Essex Farm Cemetery - Menin Road Military Cemetery - Brandhoek Military Cemetery Going by the comerades in the Coldstream Guards were buried a week either side of that. I know its not foolproof ye doubters buts its a good indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KONDOA Posted 16 January , 2005 Share Posted 16 January , 2005 Jimmy K, Are those 1st battalion men ?? What is your source SDGW or other?? Roop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jimmy Knacky Posted 16 January , 2005 Share Posted 16 January , 2005 First indacator SDGW get names either side by inserting dates from/to for the Regiment/Battalion. In this case Coldstream Guards only had the one battalion (1st) Then on to CWGC to find the burials. Some will not be original burial plots but a hell of a lot will.
