paul leeson Posted 4 July , 2014 Share Posted 4 July , 2014 Hi I am looking at the end of Lieut Albert Eagger's war service and although an officer in 1/18th London TF, he was serving with 'C' Coy GR&E. Can any one please identify that unit for me? Other stamps on his paperwork are..... DD GR&E St Pol HQ 'B' Group, CC Branch, DGR&E No;1 Area. Date around Sept 1920, during his final discharge. Thank you. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin spof Posted 4 July , 2014 Admin Share Posted 4 July , 2014 Hi Paul That would be C Coy Directorate of Grave Registration and Enquiries. This later became/war replaced by the IWGC. He would have been involved in recovering the fallen and setting up the cemeteries. Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul leeson Posted 4 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 4 July , 2014 Thank you Jay and Glen. I would never have worked that out. Most unusual and at the same time interesting. Before the war he was a press photographer, I wonder if he was used in that role again. Thank you. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
