Your local library might have a copy of Westlake's "Tracing British Battalions on the Somme" which gives detail of all involvements.

I too have an interest in the activities of the 2nd Battallion Lincolnshires in 1916, but for period around 23rd October 1916.

My great uncle, L/Cpl Thomas Hickey No. 8890 enlisted 26.3.1910, through marriage to great aunt Nellie Miller, was killed on that date. He was awarded Military Medal and diaries may give some detail on circumstances leading to award.

There he is, 8890 T. Hickey........in 'B' Company in 1912/13.

Then he served only in 2/Lincs., so his Medal Roll tells us.

His MM is listed on the same Roll.

Thank you Glyn and Dick.

He also, being born in Nottingham, served firstly with 4th Battalion Nottingham&Derby, according to his Service Record. Must have commited some offence, served 90 days and was discharged 19.2.1909.

Record contains his written confession that he made false statement upon attestation for 2/Lincs i.e. he had not previously served. Lt Col F C Floyd writes note to say well behaved man, likely to do well, shoud be retained. Wounded in action 1st July 1916 and returned to duty.
