johnboy Posted 5 July , 2016 Share Posted 5 July , 2016 His name, number and regiment would be helpful. Where has your original info come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 5 July , 2016 Share Posted 5 July , 2016 If it has a casualty list number it may be one of those 'floating' sheets from FMP in the Casualty List thread. jph, can you give a link to the post you've seen or even just a thread title and post number. His name/number may only be in an image so won't be searchable. Name, number battalion would help as well. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jph Posted 5 July , 2016 Author Share Posted 5 July , 2016 Thanks for your replys His name was Private George John Ransom 15280 2nd Battalion Leinster Regiment his casualty number list is 74923. I found the information on his wounds and where and his casualty list from the roll of honour site on there data base I contacted them and they said the information had come from the great war forum site so this is my next port of call any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Jon-Paul Harding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 5 July , 2016 Share Posted 5 July , 2016 I can see the entry on the roll of honour site which has been transcribed for them by a forum member. That's not to say that casualty list is available on the forum. The list you mention has come from findmypast and possibly ended up in the Casualty List thread. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/89635-casualty-lists/ There are 23 pages of posts with images of casualty lists, 523 post in total!! The search function is not working for me today. It won't be easy to find the sheet amongst 23 pages. Findmypast is available for free in libraries just search the military section with his name and number. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted 5 July , 2016 Share Posted 5 July , 2016 If the search function is working try putting in his name and it might show the thread where they got their info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jph Posted 5 July , 2016 Author Share Posted 5 July , 2016 Many thanks for your help I will have a look to see what I can find and keep searching to find as much information as I can Lest we forget Many thanks again Jon-Paul Harding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 5 July , 2016 Share Posted 5 July , 2016 I just tried searching forum using google instead and it comes up with 3 hits but not for Ransom in Casualty Lists. List number 74923 maybe in the 23 pages but I have a feeling some lists were emailed or PMd to the forum member and won't be there. FMP may be quicker.
