Stebie9173 Posted 4 April , 2009 Share Posted 4 April , 2009 The 27-5-1918 is the date of the battle of the Aisne at the Chemins des Dames. You may be able to narrow his Divisions down to one of the Divisions involved there. i.e. the 8th, 19th, 21st, 25th, 50th Divisions.

Stebie9173 Posted 4 April , 2009 Share Posted 4 April , 2009 Having a look at a couple of service records for men with similar numbers, it would suggest that Theodore enlisted in July 1915. Whilst the dates of these men going to France is VERY close to Theodore Coze's I would not like to categorically state that he was in the same unit or division as these two men. - L/35197. Thomas Arthur Brooks, Enlisted at London, 6-7-1915. Joined Royal Field Artillery at Norbury 9-7-1915. Posted to D Battery/154th Brigade RFA, which became D battery/172nd Brigade on 21-5-1916, part of the artillery of 36th Division. To France, 27-11-1915. 172 Brigade was broken up in January 1917. Transferred to D Battery/153rd Brigade on 13-1-1917. Evacuated to England after being kicked by a horse in February 1917. Later transferred to Remounts Service. - L/35198. Hector Grange, enlisted at London on 6-7-1915. Joined Royal Field Artillery at Norbury 9-7-1915. Posted to A Battery/154th Brigade RFA, which became D battery/172nd Brigade on 21-5-1916, part of the artillery of 36th Division. To France, 27-11-1915. Wounded in the neck on 2-7-1916. Evacuated to England and later discharged as underage. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anziodad Posted 4 April , 2009 Author Share Posted 4 April , 2009 Theodore was born "Theodore Simmins De La Coze" at Midhurst Hampshire in 1891, for some reason he changed his name to Theodore S Coze for his period in the army, he married Mabel Bryant in 1922 in the district of Havant Hampshire, they had a son Theodore H De La Coze, born Winchester in 1923, that all I have on him at the moment, thanks again for everyones help.

Anziodad Posted 5 April , 2009 Author Share Posted 5 April , 2009 This is the only man I can find listed on the medal index cards with the surname Coze, does anyone know how much of a rarity it is, or how many other single surnames there are of men who served in World War One.
