Gunner Ruppersbury 22nd Bde., R.F.A.

[Sandcroft]

Battiscombe,

I've just seen an entry in the Hospital Admission and Discharge Thread, an entry for a Ruppesburgh 9786 Gnr. 106th Bat.

Looks very much like an error, this could be well worth following up.

Regards,

Sandcroft

this is a familiar name; I have a note of him as being in 22nd Bde,, but not his battery.. there is a photo of him in the 'Graphic'.. late 1914/early 1915 I seem to remember - home on leave, or wounded... showing his jackknife which was in his breast pocket and had deflected a shrapnel bullet, or some such story ..thanks for the note ..
