isadore Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Hi I wonder if any of you Royal Irish Fusiliers experts could ballpark an enlistment date for a soldier based on his regimental number 15951? Many thanks in advance Isadore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 12 April , 2010 Share Posted 12 April , 2010 11495 is, I believe, the highest numbered soldier to die in 1914. Given that almost all who died in 1914 had enlisted in peacetime, and given the rapid rate of recruiting thereafter, there is a good probability that this is a late 1914 or early 1915 enllistment.

isadore Posted 12 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2010 Thanks for that - my uneducated guess was some time in 1914 Regards Isadore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
