alantaylor2004@hotmail.com Posted 9 August , 2009 Share Posted 9 August , 2009 Hi there, I'm after the MIC for PTE William Entwistle 22903 East Lancashire Reg, there are also supposed to be a vast amount of his service records on line, or so I have been told. I would be so grateful if they could be e-mailed to me. alantaylor2004@hotmail.com. Many thanks. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 10 August , 2009 Share Posted 10 August , 2009 Alan Finding the MIC was a bit of a work-up as the transcriber of the record has made a new Regiment called the EST Lancashire ! Your man was first into Theatre of war in France on 17 Dec 1915,so just made the entitlement to the 1914-15 Star in List No H/1/51B3 page 107,and then the British War and Victory Medals in List No H/1/102B17 page 3602. From the date into Theatre his battalion can be narrowed down to one of four in France in Dec 1915,1st,2nd,7th and 8th. You can get which Battalion by relating the above medal issues to the original Medal Roll at Kew,which is in the WO329 series.but someone needs to look up indexes at Kew to find the correct WO329 ledgers to look in.

sotonmate Posted 10 August , 2009 Share Posted 10 August , 2009 Alan 7th Battalion was part of 56 Brigade of 19 Division. See this from Long Long Trail,top left of this page: http://www.1914-1918.net/19div.htm You can read of the day-to-day activity from the Bn War Diary at Kew under WO95/2079,which runs from Jul 1915 to Jan 1918.
