Justinth Posted 10 July , 2014 Share Posted 10 July , 2014 Hi EveryoneBelow is a list received as part of a recent Freedom of Information request about the post WW1 Attestation books that were sent out from the MOD/Kew in the early 2000s. The list is from 2005 (the most recent list that the National Archives have) and so some of the addresses may be out of date/museums merged. There was also the notable omission of the Herts and Beds Attestation books which are in the Bedfordshire Archives (I have included their helpful article about this type of record can be found here ). There are likely to be other omissions and it would be great if members of the forum could put changes/any museums/archives omitted into this thread.The attestation records for the Tank Corps and the Royal Artillery can be found on Findmypast. I have also posted this information on WW2Talk. The primary interest here is for anyone looking for the record of a WW1 soldier who re-attested just after the war and whose earlier service record no longer survives.RegardsJustinAdjutant General's Corps Museum CollectionPeninsula BarracksRomsey RoadWinchesterHampshire SO23 8TSAirborne Forces MuseumBrowning BarracksAldershotHampshire GU11 2BURegimental MuseumArgyll & Sutherland HighlandersThe CastleStirling FK8 1EHArmy Medical Services MuseumKeogh BarracksAsh ValeAldershotHampshire GU12 5RQArmy Physical Training Corps MuseumArmy School of Physical TrainingQueen's AvenueAldershotHampshire GU11 2LBBlack Watch MuseumBalhousie CastleHay StreetPerth PH1 5 HRCameronians (Scottish Rifles) MuseumLow Parks Museum129 Muir StreetHamiltonSouth Lanarkshire ML3 6BJCheshire Military MuseumThe CastleChester CH1 2DNDuke of Cornwall's Light Infantry MuseumThe KeepBodminCornwall PL31 1EGDuke of Wellington's Regiment MuseumBankfield MuseumBoothtown RoadHalifax HX3 6HGDurham Light Infantry Museum CollectionDurham Art GalleryAykley HeadsDurham CityCo Durham DH1 5TUFusiliers Museum of NorthumberlandThe Abbot's TowerAlnwick CastleAlnwickNorthumberland NE66 1NGGordon Highlanders MuseumSt Luke'sViewfield RoadAberdeen AB15 7XHGreen Howards Regimental MuseumTrinity Church SquareRichmondNorth Yorkshire DL10 4QNGuards MuseumWellington BarracksBirdcage WalkLondon SW1E 6HQFor the Herts & Beds Regiment:Beds & Luton Archives & Records ServiceRiverside Building,Borough Hall,BedfordBedfordshire, MK42 9APHonourable Artillery Company MuseumArmoury HouseCity RoadLondon EC1Y 2BQHousehold Cavalry MuseumCombermere BarracksSt Leonard's RoadWindsorBerkshire SL4 3DNInfantry & Small Arms School CorpsWeapons CollectionHQ SASCLand Warfare CentreWarminsterWiltshire BA12 0DJIntelligence Corps MuseumDefence Intelligence and Security CentreChicksandsnr.

Justinth Posted 11 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 11 July , 2014 Hi Kildaremark They (together with the Buffs and the Middlesex Regiment) are in the National Army Museum (which is closed to 1st September 2014 due to redevelopment): 'National Army Museum/Templer Study Centre (The museum houses a wealth of information on the history and traditions of the Army including officer Army Lists, regimental and campaign histories, soldier's effects records, military memoirs and diaries, regimental and other military periodicals and books and other archives relating to the pre-1914 Army. The museum also holds the enlistment and discharge books for the Buffs, the Middlesex Regiment, and the five Irish regiments disbanded in 1922.

Justinth Posted 11 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 11 July , 2014 Thanks to Eric Hook Keeper of the Essex Regiment Museum for the following information: 'These consist of 33 Volumes- 1920 to 1942 1 “Odds” Volume- transferees in 1920-39 14 Volumes- “Odds” and General Service Corps transferees in 1939-47 3 Section D Pool Reserve Volumes 1920-39 1 Home Defence Battalion Volume which appears to be the second and sole survivor of a series of volumes of as yet unknown size. There is a discontinuity in our numbering series which consists of men who enlisted in the 1st/6th Essex (64 Searchlight Regiment) and 2/6TH Essex (65 Searchlight Regiment), 1938-40. These men were ultimately transferred to the RA in August 1940 and so the 2 volumes are with “Firepower”. This Museum kindly supplied photocopies of these 2 volumes. In terms of usage and access to information the first 17 volumes of the main series of 33 are now in their entirety entered on our database together with half of volume 18 and the first of the 2 RA Volumes.

stabilis Posted 11 July , 2014 Share Posted 11 July , 2014 Technically they are Enlistment rather than Attestation Registers - Army Book 358. The Suffolk Regiment set is in the Suffolk Record Office at Bury St Edmunds, reference numbers GB554/A16/52/1-33. The first three volumes are particularly useful for details of Great War service.

Justinth Posted 14 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 14 July , 2014 Mr Jinks on WW2 Talk provided a link to an old thread suggesting that some of the books had been destroyed if there were no takers for them: http://tinyurl.com/otv3pk6 What would now would be useful is if members of the forum could please indicate where they cannot find these records available for a particular regiment they are interested in. I have added those available for the Irish Regiments which were disbanded in 1922, the Lincolnshire Regiment and the Buffs. At present we are missing (according to members of the forums): 1) Seaforth Highlanders 2) London Irish Rifles (may be in Museum) Can any more missing regiments be identified?

Regards Justin Thanks for posting that Justin. I do find it strange that if they were offered to museums that the Highlanders Museum would have accepted the Cameron Hrs. records and rejected the Seaforth Hrs. records - doesn't make sense, surely they would have accepted both as being equally important.

I spent practically a whole day last summer at the Highlander's Museum with Amanda the archivist. It was she that told me that they only held the enlistment books for the Cameron Hrs. and unfortunately not for the Seaforth Hrs.! To say I am flabbergasted is an understatement after reading your post. I will be phoning them tomorrow as I intend to visit Fort George sometime mid-end of August and wanted to book another session with the archivist anyway. I will make sure, if I can, that Amanda is available when I visit. I will also make sure that I have a screen shot of that last post up on my iPad when I do visit. Sincere thanks again Justin for your digging around and I will post on any information gleaned on my return from Fort George! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinth Posted 5 August , 2014 Author Share Posted 5 August , 2014 Thanks to Bexley from WW2 Talk for an update on whether the London Irish Rifles Museum has the London Irish Enlistment books in their collection. They do not and so the disposition of these books is currently unknown. Bexley also checked with an another regiment with which the London Irish were associated with, the Royal Ulster Rifles Museum and they do not have the London Irish enlistenment books either. However Gavin Glass at the RUR Museum has confirmed that his museum has books (not clear whether just the enlistment books or discharge books etc as well) for the Royal Ulster Rifles 1921-1927.

barrieduncan Posted 6 August , 2014 Share Posted 6 August , 2014 If I remember correctly, the books covering The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) cover 1920-1934/5; they certainly don't cover any of the Second World War, which is a shame. For soldiers who served in the Great War and stayed in the Regiment, the entries can often be quite detailed. I'm amazed that the NA got rid of them in the first place, but their loss is certainly our gain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed that the NA got rid of them in the first place, but their loss is certainly our gain! Seems that the enlistments were possibly split into different pieces. Therefore it could be quite correct that they don't hold WW1 Seaforth enlistments which is what they told me last year. It's a crying shame that TNA couldn't keep them together in one place. Sadly, their loss will not be everyone else's gain only for those lucky enough to have them picked up by the museums. I'm just about to give the museum a ring which I had meant to do a while ago but other things overtook me. I will ask them again though - just to be sure.

The museum told me that they had WW1 enlistment for Cameron Highlanders but not Seaforth. Concurrent service I realise is a different matter and those would be subject to different storage but for those researching men who only served in WW1 it can be a bit problematic trying to find information regarding their enlistment date if the records have vanished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrieduncan Posted 6 August , 2014 Share Posted 6 August , 2014 As I understand it, and assuming we're all talking about the same books/registers, these were created in 1920 to record soldiers given new, unique, Army Numbers. They contain records for many soldiers who had wartime service and who remained/re-enlisted in the army, but they do not actually cover the war years. I haven't heard of similar books that cover 1914-1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaforths Posted 8 August , 2014 Share Posted 8 August , 2014 Hello Justin,I managed to get through to the museum yesterday I spoke with Amanda. There are no enlistment records for the Seaforth WW1 but there are some for afterwards but very patchy with large gaps. She said anyone with a query was better to send them an email with name, regimental number etc. and they will see if they hold anything on that particular man. Cameron, different story. They have records going back donkeys I think pre-WW1 she said.The thing is that I can remember the conversation with her from my visit last year on this subject. The Seaforth in general as compared to other regiments well, some of the battalions in particular were very poor at record keeping and retaining records. If there wasn't a requirement to file these things with the War Office, it could be possible that they were destroyed at source ie Seaforth destroyed their own records after a given time period. I don't know if they had to submit these enlistment rolls to a central point but Seaforth were well spread out with bases at Golspie, Cromarty, and Fort George. My granddad enlisted in Elgin, one of his cousins enlisted at Fort George and the others enlisted pre-war at Fochabers and Garmouth and those half dozen were just 6th Bn.So unless someone finds them dumped in a skip or on a rubbish tip somewhere for WW1...
