alf mcm Posted 20 October , 2013 Share Posted 20 October , 2013 I am wondering if the service number of Private John William Brown, Northumberland Fusiliers, would indicate his Batallion? According to his medal record card he enlisted on 30th September, 1915, and was given the service number 28/50. Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyneside Chinaman Posted 20 October , 2013 Share Posted 20 October , 2013 Hi 28/50 does indicate that he enlisted into the 28th (Reserve) battalion but you need to check the medal roll sheet to find out which battalions he served overseas with, as 28th never left UK. regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf mcm Posted 20 October , 2013 Author Share Posted 20 October , 2013 I've just found out from a family member that he served in Italy. This might narrow things slightly. Regards, Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
