KIRKY Posted 28 April , 2016 Share Posted 28 April , 2016 Trying to find out aprox where above got his MM but when I go into Ancestry to check Diaries it does not show the Manchesters under the search? In LG 19/2/1917 so could be late Somme? Any help appreciated. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorris547 Posted 28 April , 2016 Share Posted 28 April , 2016 Tony TNA ref for 2 Manchesters 1916 is WO 95/2392(2). On Ancestry War Diaries F&F search page just put 2392(2) in to the keyword box and leave the rest blank. The WD is there from January 1916 to January 1918 inclusive.

Coldstreamer Posted 29 April , 2016 Share Posted 29 April , 2016 Rule of thumb is 3 months before. So I'd say yes late somme period (as don't know where Manchester where so cant say somme ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim This assumes he was from Manchester? Do you know where he lived? Some gazette entries give a place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphjd Posted 30 April , 2016 Share Posted 30 April , 2016 There is a later date in March 1936 on the MIC which suggests he did. Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
