Skipman Posted 3 June , 2016 Share Posted 3 June , 2016 I take it Royal Naval Division casualties are not listed on SDGW? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin RussT Posted 3 June , 2016 Admin Share Posted 3 June , 2016 Mike I don't think so - but I do know that FMP has a record set for WW1 naval casualties (which includes the RND) and I understand that a CD ROM is available commonly known as Sailors Died Great War, in analogy to Soldiers Died Great War (SDGW).

Guest Posted 3 June , 2016 Share Posted 3 June , 2016 Thanks Russ. I just happened upon a local RND casualty and wondered if could find him on SDGW. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 10 June , 2016 Share Posted 10 June , 2016 Not sure how long this has been on Ancestry but it does list the man I was researching and adds quite some detail Great Britain, Royal Naval Division Casualties of The Great War, 1914-1924 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepoy Posted 10 June , 2016 Share Posted 10 June , 2016 The Royal Naval Division Record Cards, giving full service details, can be found on Findmypast.Sepoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 10 June , 2016 Share Posted 10 June , 2016 The Royal Naval Division Record Cards, giving full service details, can be found on Findmypast. Sepoy Not quite as simple as that. The actual position is that B&W copies of some RND Record Cards are at Kew (ADM 339), copies of copies of which are also on Findmypast. All the 50,000 original RND Record Cards for naval officers and ratings (i.e. ADM 339) are held at the Fleet Air Arm Museum (FAAM). They also hold the original RND Record Cards for some 5,000 men of the Royal Naval Division Engineers, Divisional Train, Ordnance Company and Royal Marines Medical Unit - these are not available elsewhere. Apart from the four RM support units detailed above, very few RND Record Cards have survived for the RMLI men of the RND. Those that have survived are to be found in the RMLI Attestation Packs at the FAAM which usually also contain Army Forms B.103 detailing RND service, wounds, etc. RND Record Cards do not exist for men serving in army units in the RND. http://www.fleetairarm.com/royal-navy-royal-marines-services-records.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrenPen Posted 8 December , 2017 Share Posted 8 December , 2017 I cannot speak highly enough of the "Royal Naval Division Casualties" dataset compiled by Jack Marshall, and available via both Ancestry & FMP. The detail is far superior to both that of SDGW, and the RN Deaths list on FMP (which seems to be transcripted from ADM 242). All this research on casualties, and the various medal rolls, stems from his interest in his Great Uncle:http://www.jackclegg.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 8 December , 2017 Share Posted 8 December , 2017 If the casualties were members of Army units within the RND, they should be listed in SDGW (or ODGW if officers). Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
