Greenwoodman Posted 5 March , 2003 Share Posted 5 March , 2003 I have access to an index of soldiers from Stoke-on-Trent whose photo appeared in the local paper. Happy to do look-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hesketh Posted 5 March , 2003 Share Posted 5 March , 2003 (edited) Richard, I doubt he will appear, because he was living in Tibshelf in NE Derbyshire at the time of his death, but I would appreciate it if you could see if the following is mentioned: Private Thomas Barrett, 578258, Labour Corps, died of wounds 18 Oct 1918, born Longton, Staffs and formerly of North Staffordshire Reg't (number 7459).

Greenwoodman Posted 19 March , 2003 Author Share Posted 19 March , 2003 I'm sorry David there isn't. But I must reiterate the index only lists those soldiers with a photo in the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenwoodman Posted 25 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 25 June , 2005 Pte J Keeling was mentioned (with photo) in the Sentinel for 21/08/15 on p.4, and Keeling (no initial) in 27/02/15 on p.7. No Ridge with those initials. I have only been able to check 1914-Feb 1916 so far, as I have misplaced the other files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackblue Posted 26 June , 2005 Share Posted 26 June , 2005 Thanks a lot Richard, I am looking for Albert Edward Beardmore. So I guess he may be A or E. I have narrowed it down to the few possibilites. I think my man probably served with the KOYLI and RE. He was born in 1896. Rgds Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
