Roll of Honour :Bethesda.

[lindarhead]

I know some of these regiments, NS I know is the North Staffords, but I don't know all of them...any help identifying them would be appreciated.

Some are obvious but a few of those that are initials I'm not sure of RFS is one such regiment,nor do I know what Pioneer RE is,or Welch Temperance...should that be Welsh?

Incidentally although this is a Roll of Honour,a substantial number of these men survived.

Thank you one and all.

Would you be able to photograph these panels so the Names show clearly?

We only have 2 letters of the alphabet so far....

It says on the War Memorials Online website that the Names were reverse painted onto glass..... easy for a mistake such as RFS instead of RSF to be made then....

[lindarhead]

That's the one...I'm helping with researching the men, done A and now on B. I do have the full list of names, I'll upload the rest of the B's. Other 'Friends of Bethesda ' have made a start on C & D I think and as far as I know that's where we're at right now.

Thank you so much.

Hi Linda,

Looks like there could be some errors in the transcription. I think REA should read RFA?

AVC Army Veterinary Corps

KORLI could be two possibles: KOYLI King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry or KORLR King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment.

I think the others you already have?

Robert

[lindarhead]

I think you're right on RFA,Robert, thank you for the help on the others also, I really do appreciate it. With only have an initial rather than a full first name understanding the regiment each man served with does help narrow it down a bit.
