sotonmate Posted 23 January , 2009 Share Posted 23 January , 2009 Walsh They were at 2nd Ypres April-May 1915 as part of 50 Division and due to losses amalgamated with 1/6 DLI as you will see from Michelle's link,reforming a couple of months later. They were later in the Battles of the Somme,but not at the start it seems. Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Great Uncle who enlisted in Bradford on the 6th may 1915 in the R.A.M.C. On his medal card it reads RAMC/101p49 Page 3567.Any ideas where he may have been and what division he may have been asigned to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
