If it still exists it would only either be in a local newspaper or a surviving battalion record.

Sincere thanks to all who have replied and to Gary for his e-mails.

I have contacted the Regimental Museum and await their reply.

Thanx Glen, got the LG entry now but still don't understand why it never came up for me before??

One of hte quirks of the LG search engine and OCRed documents.

I have to thank Forumite Graeme Clark for pointing out how to do this type of search.
