Major Frank Lurcott Pawley

[Guest iow36]

Can anyone help me with this Officers time in France. He entered France on the 14 January 1918 and before that he was with the East Riding RGA ( Territorial Force ) assigned to the North Eastern Coastal Defences. He joined the 2nd East Riding of Yorkshire RGA ( Volunteer ) Heavy Battery in 1905 and left in 1924 a Lt Col.

He was mentioned in The Hull Daily Mail in July 1919 as being attached to 156 Siege Battery, if that's any help.

IPT - do you have access to Hull papers to make a search ? I have a few Coldstreamers from there

Thanks (and sorry for the hi-jack)

Sorry, no.

I just browsed the British Newspaper Archive, without a subscription.

The date of cessation of service means that there are no records in the public domain. They will be held by the Army Records in Glasgow and may be released to relatives on application and provision of evidence of family connection:

Thanks everyone for your input. I have been able to glean some information from the Hull newspaper in particular confirming his MID which up till now has eluded me. His service record I may be able to source as only very recently I have tracked down a possible relative.
