ttrevorm Posted 23 October , 2009 Author Share Posted 23 October , 2009 Cardwell's 'R' number in the RNVR shows that he was conscripted through the national/army system, perhaps as early as 1917 but not called forward for service until 1918. To know for sure you would need to see his army and RNVR attestations which are held at the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Again you are on the money for it says Date of entry ARMY RESERVE 18/10/16 RNVR 8/4/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertBr Posted 24 October , 2009 Share Posted 24 October , 2009 On the 7 November Hood action, Sellers writes: "The 189 Bde successfully relieved 168 Bde by 5am on 7 November, and lined up for an attack at 9am. The Hood led the attack, advancing on the Bois d'Audregnies and capturing the main part of it by 11am. Enemy counter-attacks were repelled as the Drake leap-frogged the Hood to a second objective, and the advance continued..." This was last major Hood action of the war. A little more background relating to the events of the 7th Nov can be found in the records of the 56th (London) Division who were on thr right of the RND on that day. 63rd RND (189 Brigade) relieved 168th Brigade. 56th Division now on single brigade front with 11th Division on the right. 56th Division take Onnezies, cross the River Le Petite Honnelles and take Monignies. On the night of 10th Nov the 63rd RND relieved the 56th Div near Harvengt. Bob PS The weather was awful, just like England today!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
