Stephen Barker Posted 5 April , 2004 Share Posted 5 April , 2004 My great-uncle Samuel Barker was listed on the medal roll as being in the Cheshire Regiment. His number was 13566. Can anyone tell me which battalion he was in from his number?? Thanks Stephen Barker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Lewis Posted 5 April , 2004 Share Posted 5 April , 2004 Stephen Not sure if this is of any help or makes situation worse.Looking at SDGW 13567 Samuel Coombs served with the 10th Btn. I'm sure an expert will help more than me Regards Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenwoodman Posted 5 April , 2004 Share Posted 5 April , 2004 I did a search on Soldiers Died for 5-figure numbers beginning "135**" with the following results: 3 from 10th Bn 2 from 9th Bn 2 from 13th Bn 1 from 12th Bn 1 from 1st Bn and 1 from 1/5th Bn. 13567 was L/Cpl Samuel COOMBS from the 10th Bn kia 14/07/16 born and enlisted in Northwich. Inconclusive I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Barker Posted 5 April , 2004 Author Share Posted 5 April , 2004 This is really useful. Samuel was from Northwich also! He was gassed in late 15 or early 16. This is a great help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
