theodore Posted 9 December , 2004 Share Posted 9 December , 2004 Hi Rob Can you help with any information on Private 9062 George Richards of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He went to France with the Regiment on 27th August 1914. I would like to know the battalion he served in plus any further details regards his time with the regiment. According to his MIC he also served with three other Regiments. Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackblue Posted 9 December , 2004 Share Posted 9 December , 2004 Peter, If he was on the Western Front this early he would almost certainly have been with the 1st Battalion. Have a look at the following link. http://www.1914-1918.net/warwicks.htm Rgds Tim D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcderms Posted 10 December , 2004 Share Posted 10 December , 2004 Err... beg to differ! My relative was 2nd battn Royal Warks and landed in France early October 1914, after peace keeping duties in Salonika. Wounded in the retreat from Mons so your man could have been either 1st or 2nd battn. Not sure about the terriers but send a message to ROB WILLIAMS on this forum as he's helped me out in the past.

According to Peter his relative went to France 27th August 1914. According to The Long Long Trail the movements of the 1st Battalion are consistent with this date and they were the only battalion on the Western Front at this time. It advises that the 2nd Battalion were in Malta and did not arrive arrive back in the UK until 19th September. As you have confirmed they then moved to France with the 7th Division in October 1914.

theodore Posted 13 December , 2004 Author Share Posted 13 December , 2004 Hi Tim Yes it would appear to be the 1st Battalion rather than the 2nd Warwicks that George served with according to when he went to France in August 1914. I've tried Rob Williams but no reply from him. Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
