hmsk212 Posted 16 October , 2013 Share Posted 16 October , 2013 Hi Lee, I am afraid that the MGC rolls do not tell you a lot. 15 Star War & Victory Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee44002 Posted 18 October , 2013 Author Share Posted 18 October , 2013 Thanks for those, anything better than nothing. Gets has Lincs battalion at least. Any chance of a full copy of each for my record file for him please. If I send a couple of other names with MGC MiC's could you give me those as well please. I have most of the Lincolns medals rolls but nothing else. Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 18 October , 2013 Share Posted 18 October , 2013 War Diary for 1/4 Lincolns from his landing in France on 2 Mar 1915 is at Kew under WO95/2691/1 and runs through to 1918 when they amalgamated with 2/4 Battalion and were then called 4 Battalion. It's worth a look round to see if a regular happening occurred with regard to MG units. His Infantry Brigade 138 (of 46 Division) had a 138 Machine Gun Company and there is a possibility that he moved sideways to that unit from within the Brigade,and later,in 1918,when each Division had a Machine Gun Battalion,that he moved into that as well.

The 138th war diary has a list of units that made up the corps, Thanks for your info. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
