Chris_Baker Posted 21 March , 2014 Share Posted 21 March , 2014 I have a digitised copy of the war history of the 1/4th Loyals (you can download it from archive.org) but the facsimile copy of the signatures of those who volunteered for overseas service on 8 August 1914 is pretty much illegible. If anyone has a copy that can be read, I would value confirmation of the presence of the signature of 508 Richard Corns. He went on to serve as the battalion's RSM.

barkalotloudly Posted 21 March , 2014 Share Posted 21 March , 2014 do you know which company he was in? I have had a look at my copy with a magnifying glass but cannot see him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 21 March , 2014 Author Share Posted 21 March , 2014 Thank you. He was with D Company when wounded in July 1917. He may not be listed. I can't find an entitlement to a 1914-15 Star: at least, not under his name and number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myos Posted 22 March , 2014 Share Posted 22 March , 2014 Chris D Company by the time they went to France was made up of G & H Companies, but sadly I can't see his name on the Roll of Volunteers for C either. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
