armourersergeant Posted 21 February , 2010 Share Posted 21 February , 2010 Hello, I have exhausted the little utilities I have (1911 Army Lists, relevant 21st div War dairy, Times on line, DSO book part 1 etc) in regard to this officer. All I can confirm is that he was in early to mid 1916 GSO3 for 21st division, taking up Brigade Major for 62nd just prior to 1st July 1916. I would be grateful to know any information that anyone can supply, in particular susequent awards, the regiment he belonged to and so forth.

johnny_doyle Posted 21 February , 2010 Share Posted 21 February , 2010 2 identical MICs on Ancestry show him as Northumberland Fusiliers. No other's of that surname listed. MID LG 1/1/16 page 33 nothing found in the 1891 or 1901 census for him. LG : http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/302...s/9432/page.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armourersergeant Posted 21 February , 2010 Author Share Posted 21 February , 2010 Thanks both. How stupid do I feel Chris? Thats my website and I missed the reference to Gallatly in the Sharpe peice. I did a search for his name on line and it did not bring up any hits! But atleast I know when he left the brigade, just to find where now. Slinking off to corner for missing that one...doh!

armourersergeant Posted 21 February , 2010 Author Share Posted 21 February , 2010 Johnny and Pam, Many thnaks for those links etc. All helps to build up a picture. Apart from stupidity, I wonder why I never seem to glean anything from the London Gazette? Regards Arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
