high wood Posted 26 March , 2023 Author Share Posted 26 March , 2023 3 hours ago, emam said: I can't see one for a John and Sarah but can see on for a Samuel and Sarah. @high wood Where did the photo come from, was it family? He had a sister called Minnie, just wondering if there was anything for that name. I cannot now remember exactly where I bought the post card after all these years. I have been collecting photographs and ephemera for over 25 years and have many hundreds in my collection. Most of the basic research was done many years ago, usually to the point of identifying the individual, his regimental number, battalion and his service history. I am now in the process of reviewing my earlier research of those post cards that were not positively identified but had several clues as to who the soldier was. With the amount of information that is now available on line, particularly the pension files, absent voter lists, 1921 Census and microfilmed newspapers, I am able to positively identify many more individuals. The card in question probably has more information than any other unidentified card in my collection. I am convinced that it is Robert Taylor but I am going to get his birth certificate to be absolutely certain. Another card in my collection should also be easy in that it gives the surname, battalion and regiment but like this card, it leaves one piece of information out. It reads, "Pte Warburton. 2/4th South Lancashire Regiment, Transport Section". The photograph was taken at a studio in Oldham. There were seven soldiers called Warburton in the 2/4th South Lancs, there are service papers for only two of them. If only they had written the first name on the card.

Ed Harris Posted 22 December , 2023 Share Posted 22 December , 2023 hiya how can I get access to the 11th battalion DLI casualty list, my gt grandfather was discharged injured on 03/05/1916, his army number was 17474 Ralph Bagnall Rutherford Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 22 December , 2023 Share Posted 22 December , 2023 Ralph's disability pension was awarded due to deafness and contusion of his back. I can't spot him in the War Office casualty lists, which may suggest his injuries were not classified as a wound (as, for example, if they were accidental).

Ed Harris Posted 22 December , 2023 Share Posted 22 December , 2023 I think it is I do know he was in the 11 DLI he may have transferred. This is the photo in the family unless my nan had another sweetheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 22 December , 2023 Admin Share Posted 22 December , 2023 Definitely not a DLI badge, no bugle. As Charlie says, it’s a fusilier badge. Unfortunately , the image is too small to make out which type of fusilier. Maybe Northumberland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Harris Posted 27 December , 2023 Share Posted 27 December , 2023 Hiya wow doesn’t sound good. Couldn’t read most of it but got the gist are these abodes still standing and would you know postcodes as I would like to visit but given what my gt grandad was up to sounds a tad disrespectful. I’m the gt grandson of the sister in law he got into trouble. This is why my nan moved to Birmingham to give birth and ended up staying. When it says he got her in to trouble and she made a complaint does that mean what I think it means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
