garfyboy Posted 1 September , 2013 Share Posted 1 September , 2013 Hi all I have a nurses autograph book from 1915 and one of the entries inside is hand written: cpl E. MUSTOE 1ST GLOSTER REGT BEF home address no12 bathcast ?? hill junction hill london n.w After research i am pretty sure my man is Edward Mustoe, DCM, 6530 l/cpl - sgt The only other Mustoes for glouc reg are all privates apart from a Edwin.t who had the rank of l/cpl and also served with the RE, the middle initial and RE should discount him. The only thing i cannot put my finger on is the address in the book, edward was born in cirencester, is commemorated on the cirencester parish church war memorial, sdgw has residence as Newport? Does anybody know of this chap? would his dcm citation give any details? (ive never seen one) thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon2 Posted 1 September , 2013 Share Posted 1 September , 2013 The DCM citation shows he's in the Cirencester area and there is a Newport in Gloucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ASM Posted 23 June , 2014 Share Posted 23 June , 2014 Andy, Edward Mustoe 6530 is my Great Great Uncle on my Father's Mother's side. He was wounded in 1915, recovered and then died of further wounds as a Sjt in 1918, the family originate from and are still resident in Newport, Wales. I am happy to assist you further and would be grateful if you could copy me the relevant entry from your nurse's book. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfyboy Posted 2 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 2 July , 2014 Roy: email on its way, by the way, the book once belonged to a nurse from Kirkby Lonsdale hospital and most of the entries are dated from March 1915. Jay: thank for the citation, very much appreciated, and I guess Roy will be pleased also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
