peterhodgkinson Posted 2 November , 2011 Share Posted 2 November , 2011 R.I. Rawson commanded either the 7th or 8th Worcesters as Temp Lt-Col between at least 4th & 19th October 1915. Does anyone know which btn it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon2 Posted 2 November , 2011 Share Posted 2 November , 2011 Had a quick look at those dates in the war diaries for 2/7th and 2/8th and didn't find him. Also made a quick search a couple of months either side and no joy. As the third line units were home units I would suggest looking at the first line 1/7th ot 1/8th. These diaries sadly I haven't got. Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterhodgkinson Posted 2 November , 2011 Author Share Posted 2 November , 2011 Thanks for looking, Simon. I think it's the 1/8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon2 Posted 2 November , 2011 Share Posted 2 November , 2011 Peter, Was he definately with the Worcesters. There is a Major / Temp LT COL R.I.Rawson in the Glosters. He served with the 1/4th. Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon2 Posted 3 November , 2011 Share Posted 3 November , 2011 Hi Peter, Looking at it on a divisional level. Both the 1/7th + 1/8th Worcesters were in the same brigade / division as the 1/4th Glosters. 144th Brigade / 48th (South Midland) Division. So it's possible it's the same man and he transfered or took temporary command. Then again any info (albeit little) that I have seen about him doesn't mention the Worcesters. Simon.

peterhodgkinson Posted 4 November , 2011 Author Share Posted 4 November , 2011 Thanks again, I'm reasonably sure now it was the 1/8th. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
