Adam Llewellyn Posted 27 April , 2013 Share Posted 27 April , 2013 Good Day All, I'm trying to get any further information on Arthur or the 177th Company MGC. Arthur died of wounds on the 1st October 1917 and after following things through on the LLT site I'm assuming he could have been wounded at Polygon Wood and died in one of the casualty clearing stations. Arthur was born in Netherfield, Nottingham and is shown as being a resident of 73, Godfrey Street, Netherfield. SDGW shows him as formerly being 54294 Notts & Derby Regt, could anybody help with when he may have enlisted and if he went overseas with the Sherwood Foresters? Anything appreciated. Regards. Llew.

Admin ss002d6252 Posted 27 April , 2013 Admin Share Posted 27 April , 2013 His MIC indicates he went overseas with the MGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Llewellyn Posted 28 April , 2013 Author Share Posted 28 April , 2013 Many thanks for the information. The 2/4th & 2/5th Leicesters were in the same Brigade, so I'll get some idea from their Battalion diaries. Regards. Llew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebriggs Posted 1 May , 2013 Share Posted 1 May , 2013 Llew you're probably looking towards the end of 1915 for an enlistment date with a 50,000 number (but its not an exact science and could be early 1916) cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
