CarylW Posted 4 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2011 On this thread Here forum member Retlaw posted two images of pages found in a service record. He believes they are men who were prisoners of war and sent postcards Transcribed them here, with his permission and also that they may be found using the forum search or Google Words in brackets are mine from looking up the names and numbers in the MIC's. Had a bit of a problem working out the locations of where they were from, if some bright spark can work them out from the original image (in the thread linked above) will amend the list. I put ??? for the places I can't work out All Lancs Fusiliers except for one 2nd East Lancs. Could not find a MIC for Parker W G, or Porter A C 41855 Mckay H. Pte. 1/5 - not stated (Henry McKay Pte.

susanhemmings Posted 4 February , 2011 Share Posted 4 February , 2011 A long long time ago I posted a list (in Word format) of those records found on Ancestry service or pension records missorts section (I believe). It appears that the search facility having been updated cannot now go directly to those records. They used to be listed alphabetically A, B, C etc and after the Z option there was another choice (I dont think it was entitled missorts, but something of the sort to make me curious and take a look. I found dozens of odd scraps of records all jumbled up and did my best to produce a list of these. I will see if I can find my backup of this word document as the laptop it was on is no longer in my possession. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarylW Posted 5 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 5 February , 2011 Following on from post #27 Again, words in brackets are mine taken from MIC's. The ??? are words, usually home locations that I can't work out from the original image posted by forum member Retlaw, A (?) means I'm not sure of a location. Two men I can't find MIC's for 32254 or 32251 Hill E (looks like) and name under his, crossed out in the original image, service number looks to be 202332 or could be 20282 51936 Merrifield B Cpl - not stated (Germany) -PC copis by transfer Red Cross 10.6.18 (Bernard S Merrifield Corporal Lancashire Fusiliers) 19647 Garlick A Pte. - Swinton - 15.5.18 Alvin Garlick Pte.

David Porter Posted 5 February , 2011 Share Posted 5 February , 2011 Two men I can't find MIC's for 32254 or 32251 Hill E (looks like) and name under his, crossed out in the original image, service number looks to be 202332 or could be 20282 Caryl, You have already found the MIC for 32254 Hill E in the first list! The name under his looks like (Cotterhill) Cotterill R. so the MIC might be: Cotterill, Robert Corps Regiment No Rank Lancashire Fusiliers 4964 Private Lancashire Fusiliers 20233 Private Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
