Only the SWB List C648 (Exeter) which shows enlisted 7Dec1914 and discharged on 6Sep1917 to wounds with SWB No 243755.

The date of entry into France only gives as a replacement draft to either 1 or 2 Battalion as these were the only two there at the time. MIC reference C/1/102B5 gives original medal roll in WO329/1536 page 509 and this should show Battalion.

I did look in Service and Pension records but no hits.

There are two possibles in PIN26 for FISHER H,both GSW. Refs PIN26/5013 and 5014. These are Min of Pensions records at Kew and not yet digital.

After a break doing other things I am now returning to my research of Henry Fisher's service.

I am currently living in Ireland and will not be able to get to the NA for sometime.

It would be appreciated if some kind PAL could identify his Battalion for me.

Some of my GWR chaps have numbers around about Henrys and they were in the 1st Batt Wilts

Have you tried "The Wardrobe" museum of the Wilts and Berks, it's in Salisbury, Wilts

They have a website, but it seems to be playing up at the moment.

Thanks Grantowi

I'm Wiltshire bred (Devizes) and have been to the Museum many times :-)

Nothing on their website though to link to Henry - they charge for research enquiries :-(
