archangel9 Posted 10 November , 2009 Share Posted 10 November , 2009 D, There is service records for a Charles J Vick 2244, 1st West Lancashire Field Ambulance, 45, Ferndale road, Liverpool. Note - I'm too slow!!! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 10 November , 2009 Share Posted 10 November , 2009 I'm not sure how you would access them without Ancsetry and I don't have a printer here, hopefully someone will get them to you, but be careful there is a document in the middle of them belonging to another man. The circumstances of his wounding and subsequent death make dreadful reading and its a credit to the RAMC that he got back to the UK. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Watt Posted 10 November , 2009 Share Posted 10 November , 2009 Here's a summary of his service from his service record Enlisted in the 3/1st West Lancashire Field Ambulance at Tramway Road, Liverpool on 21 October 1915 as Private No.2244 Embarked at Southampton on 23 April 1917 arriving at Le Havre the next day and travelling to Rouen.

daggers Posted 10 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 10 November , 2009 Left the keyboard for a few minutes and you've all been beavering away. Many thanks to all for great help [as ever here]. I see the snippet shows he was in 3/2 West Lancs Field Ambulance, although CWGC have 1st. Perhaps other documents will show the transfer.

daggers Posted 10 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 10 November , 2009 Stephen All received, thanks very much. They show the full, sad story outlined by Mick, heightened by the few 'effects' returned to Pte Vick's sister, his NofK. I have had a positive reaction from the local TA RAMC unit about the condition of the memorial stone and will report on the outcome. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
