GWF1967 Posted 26 May , 2015 Share Posted 26 May , 2015 Hi, I bought this postcard, from a W. Ealing studio of this young chap named as "Charlie Dunn Beds Reg. 1917". He's a good shot, been a good boy for 2yrs? plus and wounded whilst engaged in active Ops, I presume with the Beds. I found a likely in; Charles James Dunn. 9705. 10th Btn Royal West Surrey. 271512 Beds. 103323. 15th Btn. Notts and Derby. His Medals are inscribed as a Sherwood Forester. Could anyone help date his transfer to the Beds or the Sherwoods by service No. Please. Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonmate Posted 27 May , 2015 Share Posted 27 May , 2015 Guy 271512 is a 1917 re-numbering for the Bedfordshire Regiment,except that it was part of a series (265001 to 290000) used for 1/1 Hertfortdshire Regt ! In May 1918 several hundred men from 6 Battalion Bedfordshire were transferred to 1/1 Herts. I would be guessing that he was wounded whilst with Queen's Royal West Surreys and on return to fitness joined the Beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
