dfaulder Posted 5 February , 2009 Share Posted 5 February , 2009 With the demise of Geoff's Search Engine, any suggestions as to how I compile a list of ORs from the 1/5th Y&L who died on 26 April 1918 (I have the Officers from the War Diary)? Is there a searchable version of SDGW - if so a trip to a library might be in order. TIA David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Jones Posted 5 February , 2009 Share Posted 5 February , 2009 Hello David, The Soldiers Died C.D. Rom is your man. Brings the names up as quick as Geoff's Amazing Great War Search Engine (Well when it is working again). There are 17 men died that day.

Roger Thompson Posted 6 February , 2009 Share Posted 6 February , 2009 Hi there David, The only other quick option that i can think about is the Regimental Museum at Rotherham and see wether they have any records. I have found the research officer there very useful in the past. My main interest is the 7th Battalion Y&L's. Cheers Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 7 February , 2009 Share Posted 7 February , 2009 These are the men listed on SDGW. I covered 26-27 April 1918. Langford: Died of Wounds on 27/04/1918. This of course could have been a previous action. Peace: Died of Wounds on 26/04/1918. Again, this could have been a previous action. Spencer KIA 27/04/1918.
