Kevin Marples Posted 13 December , 2009 Share Posted 13 December , 2009 Mike Would it be possible for you to check your records for my grandfather Alfred MacIntyre who enlisted with the 6th Battalion in 1913. I contacted you about him some time ago and provided you with copies of his war record I managed to acquire from Kew. I am hoping that you may have some additional information about him from your research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambo Posted 13 December , 2009 Share Posted 13 December , 2009 Mike I was wondering if you had anything on Kerrich per my post? No worries if you haven't Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen p nunn Posted 13 December , 2009 Share Posted 13 December , 2009 Great work Mike. I have got one Maldon/Heybridge casualty from the Sherwood Foresters: Private (73004) Harry THEEDON (11th Battalion). Harry was born in Heybridge, lived at Prittlewell and enlisted at Southend. He died on 1/10/17 and is on the Tyne Cot Memorial (Panels 99-102). I have been out to see his name. Best regards. SPN Maldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebriggs Posted 15 December , 2009 Author Share Posted 15 December , 2009 Mike Thanks for the offer. This is my man and if you can add anything I would be very greatful. If this adds anything to what you have then all is not lost! Given he has an unusual name I couldn't find his gazette dates other than the Captaincy. I'm really interested in filling in the gaps if I can like whether he served in Ireland during the Easter uprising for instance. If you had a photo.............! The details of the action came from a posting I did a while ago the rest is spade work Thanks John Hi John Sorry for the delay. I had a quick look over the records that I have but there is not mention that I can find. You probably have his MIC, but here it is anyway. His date of entry into France is December 1916 so that would suggest that he orginally went out to the 1/6th Battn already in France. Perhaps later transferring back to the 2/6th Battn. I'll keep digging cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
