johnnie Posted 26 January , 2009 Share Posted 26 January , 2009 I have just picked up the photo below showing an officer. On the bottom, the man has signed it with his name, followed by Lt 2/4 LNL I assume this is the 2/4th Btn Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. I have looked at the name and it appears to be Joseph Hunl or Hunt, however I have been unable to find a MIC with that name, and was wondering if anybody might be able to suggest what the name could be, or perhaps tell me anymore about him. Any help would be great. It's quite a nice photo and it would be good to find out a lottle more about the man. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggers Posted 26 January , 2009 Share Posted 26 January , 2009 Looks like Joseph. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 26 January , 2009 Share Posted 26 January , 2009 Joseph Hunt looks a good call to me, No MIC suggests he either never went overseas or he never claimed his medals. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardess Posted 26 January , 2009 Share Posted 26 January , 2009 Could it be Hurst or Hinch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushfighter Posted 26 January , 2009 Share Posted 26 January , 2009 Jonathan The July 1916 Army List shows a 2nd Lieutenant J. HUNT under 4th Bn (Territorial). He joined on 6 December 1915. Why not send a copy to the Curator at the QLR Museum Preston? Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnie Posted 26 January , 2009 Author Share Posted 26 January , 2009 Thank you for all of the information. Can I ask where you found out about the J Hunt who was wounded? Do you think this could be the chap in the photo? If it is the man in the photo, why can I not find a MIC for a J Hunt? Could it be that he didn't claim his medals?

PhilB Posted 26 January , 2009 Share Posted 26 January , 2009 Loyals Regimental History. Wounded by heavy shellfire. I`ve no doubt it`s him. Don`t know about the MICs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
