[shawa72]

Hi, trying to find out any info on 2443 Pte. F W.F Drake Leics Yeo.

I have found his MIC but have drawn a blank elsewhere. Please could anyone supply any further information, I note that he was discharged 31-10-15, does anyone have access to a battalion war diary? Anything would be welcome.

Many thanks

2 MIC cards on Ancestry for Drake both with service number 2443 - 1st for William F Drake Leic Yeomanry and Corps of Hussars

2nd for F W F Drake showing date of entry to theatre and discharge date that you already have

Can you confirm his full name ?

Hello Paul,

I've taken a note of your email, so please feel free to delete it from this thread. I don't really do a great deal with the Yeomanry, but may know someone who can help, so please bear with me on that. Ellis maybe able to tell us if he does have any records which survived, so if you do know his full name it will help.

Regards.

Llew.

Hi Llew & Ellis, many thanks for the info to date. Unfortunately I don't have a full name, only F.W.F Drake.

If you can add anything else I would be most grateful

Thanks again
