chrisinstaffs Posted 23 August , 2009 Share Posted 23 August , 2009 Does anyone have any details about a number of men from the Royal Warwickshire Regt who moved in late 1917 into various Machine Gun Corps Battalions = including 16 Bn. I am trying to track down an ancestor who was in Royal Warwicks on enlistment but am struggling to identified which Bn he served in until he moved to MGC- and therefore where he served ? I am under the impression some battalions were disbanded in autumn 1917 but cannot find a Warwicks one that fits the issue ? chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinY43 Posted 24 August , 2009 Share Posted 24 August , 2009 Hello Chrisri, In my recent experience here I would suggest you state the name, and number if known, of the person you are trying to resolve and I think you will then find that Pals here have the expertise and access to find the data you are looking for. Good luck Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry is the author of "Birmingham Pals: History of the 14th, 15th and 16th (Service) Battalions of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment" Alternatively, the Royal Warwickshire Regiment Museum (St John's House, Warwick CV34 4NF Tel: 01926 491653). BTW Terry's book is available on Amazon and I can stronlgy recommend it. If you go to the donation page and follow the link to Amazon then the GWF gets a percentage! All the best, Ian.
