Jim Hastings Posted 2 July , 2013 Share Posted 2 July , 2013 Good day all, I am looking into a relative and another man from 1st East Surreys and was wondering if any forum pal has the WD entries for November 1914 at all? The WD is online, but the November entries are missing. Not sure but maybe the Nov entries have been lost from the period, if any East Surreys expert knows? I'm especially interested in then names of any officers who joined the Bn during the month and the dates they joined. Many thanks for any time and effort on my behalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hastings Posted 4 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 4 July , 2013 Thanks Tom and Rob, I've been using the online Surreys site thanks Tom but November is missing. I thought I'd get the entire WD from the NA but in 1998 it was reported that the WD from Aug 1914 - Aug 1915 was now missing!!! My man may have been one of the November 3rd lot, so thanks Rob. What history is it that you have by the way? May invest .... All the very best, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
