Lost in Tilloy Posted 6 July , 2006 Share Posted 6 July , 2006 Hi Andy Is there any mention of a Lieut Neville Harris Broadway in the document. He latterly served with the 2nd (Indian) Lancers and was killed on 1/12/1917? Regards LIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcassidy Posted 21 September , 2006 Share Posted 21 September , 2006 Can I ask Andy, if he's still around, or anyone else who can do Inns of Court OTC look-ups, to have a look for my great-uncle, Percy Pool Harrison (born Derby 1894)? He was a private with the Inns of Court OTC, and later a Captain with the 5th battalion, Sherwood Foresters, and was KIA in October 1917. I'd particularly like to know his peacetime occupation, if it's registered. I understand that the men of the Inns of Court OTC usually had something to do with the Inns of Court; as he lived in Derby to the best of my knowledge I assume he wouldn't have been a clerk there, but more probably a barrister.

mcassidy Posted 21 September , 2006 Share Posted 21 September , 2006 Thanks very much, Andy - that was very quick! I see his peacetime occupation isn't mentioned - do you happen to know what the requirements were for joining the Inns of Court OTC? The Dacorum Heritage Trust site is very vague - it just says "The Inns of Court OTC was originally part of the London Territorial Force and consisted mainly of men connected with the law courts." -- Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
