Peter J Posted 14 September , 2010 Share Posted 14 September , 2010 Hello Scall38, This via TTL: 5th (Service) Battalion (Pioneers) Formed at Clonmel in August 1914 as part of K1 and attached to 29th Brigade, 10th (Irish) Division. About June 1915, converted to Pioneer Bn of the same Division. 7 July 1915: embarked at Liverpool and sailed to Gallipoli via Mudros. Landed Suvla Bay 7 August 1915. 30 September 1915 : moved via Mudros to Salonika. 1 April 1918 : transferred to 52nd (Lowland) Division. Moved soon afterwards with Division to France. 31 May 1918 : transferred to Lines of Communication. 14 July 1918 : transferred to 50th (Northumbrian) Division as Pioneer Bn. Also, you will find more info HERE. This is a link to the National Archives website, where you can order printed or digital copies of unit war diaries. It looks as though the following are available: July to Sept 1915 Oct 1915 to Aug 1917 Sept 1917 to Mar 1918 Apr 1918 to Feb 1919. Hope this is of help.

Jervis Posted 29 September , 2020 Share Posted 29 September , 2020 George Goddard named above was an alias. His true name was George Godwin of Clonsilla Dublin. No idea why he used an alias. He was the son of an English soldier of the same named, who married a local woman and settled in Clonsilla. Father and sons worked as grooms in Clonsilla house & Luttrelstown castle. George had three (possibly four) brothers serve in GW, he was the only one to die. He is buried in Mudros Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
