jiff1 Posted 26 December , 2009 Share Posted 26 December , 2009 I have a book written by Lt. R. P.M. Davis (late of Royal Scots Fusiliers). This book covers the activities of the Sierra Leone Police force from 1829 to 1928. The book in full of place names/skirmishes from 1829 and there are many names in the book (both civillians and service) including those killed/wounded prior to and in the 'Great War' 1914 - 1918. I would be grateful to know if anyone has any interest in this period/unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushfighter Posted 27 December , 2009 Share Posted 27 December , 2009 jiff1 That is a very hard-to-find book - I have been searching for it for years. I am very interested in that battalion. Please could you send me an email to: harryfecitt@yahoo.co.uk so that we may discuss events. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be grateful to know if anyone has any interest in this period/unit. Hi, I'd be interested to know if there is mention of a H G de L Ferguson. He was a captain in 4th (Militia) battalion Norfolk Regiment and got a DSO for service in Sierra Leone. He later served in South Africa but resigned his commission in 1906. He returned to the colours in 1914 to command 8th Battalion Norfolks on the Western Front. From what little I can gather it was common practise for militia officers to serve in West African constabularies, presumably to see a little active service. Thanks in anticipation.
