private78245 Posted 20 February , 2009 Share Posted 20 February , 2009 Hi, is it possible to find out when someone got wounded during the Galippoli campain. My father Pte Ply.16991 H.L.Trailor.RMLI. D coy. received a bayonet wound. Would this be recorded anywhere? I have tried to contact the RM museum by phone and email but failed to get contact. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Dave.

horatio2 Posted 20 February , 2009 Share Posted 20 February , 2009 There are papers for your father at the FAA Museum. It is possible that his Army Form B.103 survives among them. If so it will give the details you seek. E-mail them for copies. Plymouth/16991; TRAILOR, HL; Enlisted 22/08/1914; Discharged SS/DEMOB; D.o.b. 30/12/1893; P.o.b. MERTHYR TYDFIL; NO SS NUMBER. DISCH UNDER CS NUMBER He was enlisted very early in the war when it was not yet possible to enlist "for duration of the war" (Short service). In consequence he was one of many such men who were transferred to Short Service at the end of the war before demobilisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any info on wounds though. He used to tell us quite a story about how it happened regards Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per ardua per mare per terram Posted 25 February , 2009 Share Posted 25 February , 2009 Army Form B.103 is the relevent record. It is unrealistic to expect the RM museum to have a records of where and when every member of the Corps was wounded. I recommend this web site: http://www.1914-1918.net/grandad/dont.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 24 October , 2017 Share Posted 24 October , 2017 Such a shame I have found this post so late on. Just hope this message somehow gets to you. I have a WW1 medal for HLTrailor 16991 RMLI. My grandmothers brother died as a POW and she got some of his letters and medals. That box came to me and I have treasured it. In the box was that medal. I have no idea how it has come into my families possession, though they did live around the Merthyr area. I would like to repatriate the medal to its rightful owners!
